Hi I am returning to keeping a saltwater aquarium. I had several in the mid 90's and started with a 55g FOWLR. I soon went to a 180g with BTA's, Soft corals, clams and fish. Due to an ice storm and generator failure I had to break down the tank and give all of the live stock to someone. I lost only one clam in the mess. That was enough and I left the hobby for 20 something years. I now have a corner 92 gallon with established live rock (50lbs), rock anemone, RTBA, a few LPS. Most of the live stock was a rescue including the tank. I have made a few changes to the original configuration. It has been about 4 months in my care with a few ups and downs. The RBTA is huge and has split once already. The few SPS I have are hitch hikers from some live rock and a surprise. Things have really changed over the last 20 years and I have a lot to learn. Thanks for taking the time to read this and accepting me in to the forum.

Welcome to R2R and back to the hobby!

As you already know, the single best thing to happen in reef keeping in the last 20 years is the explosion of the internet and places like R2R where we can learn, share, etc!
