hello everyone

thought I'd introduce myself as I've been lurking for awhile now...my name is Paul and I am back in the hobby again after a 10 year break....wow things have changed lol

Set up a Waterbox 100.3 6 months ago with the aim of having an sps reef and currently going through the ugly algae part, don't remember it being this bad o_O

cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul and Welcome! Glad you joined. My first time I barely had algae, but my return to hobby there has been 2 algae wars (so far) but we continue to win! Hang in there and you will get to the other side. I like to say I'm smarter than algae... lol

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
