Hello everyone, I am new to the R2R family and learned about this site from BRS. I am getting back into the hobby of aquariums and have started my tank up again from being gone for over 8 years. I have totally forgotten how much fun and frustrating this hobby is, however once you get through the difficult times it is very rewarding. When i first started the hobby i had originally done a fish only tank and added some live rock and then had some feather worms that hitch-hiked into my tank. I was very successful until i decided to go on a limb and I purchased a sea cucumber and oh boy was that a mistake at that time i did not have enough experience and wow did not know that that one invertebrate could kill off a whole tank. When that happened I was devastated and hung up the hobby. Now with my grandson living with me and he wanted fish i decided to start it back up again but this time i am going to put in the time to learn more about corals and do a reef tank this time so I know this will be a slow process and look forward to this forum. I will admit I have already made a few mistakes since returning like putting sugar sand in my tank and now I will have the chore to take some out and put in some special grade Caribsea so i do not have sand drifts from my power heads. Wish me luck everyone.
