Hello. Thanks for having me.

I look forward to seeing everyone's tanks and learning new trends. I have been out of the hobby for about 7 years now. It's been weird but ok since my wife and I started our family. We now have a 10 year old and a 4 year old. We have been getting the itch now that the kids are a little older. I would love some input and any help would be greatly appreciated. Our last tank was an SPS dominant tank with some LPS, rics, zoas etc. We also had a 240 mixed reef before that. I always used to run 250 watt hqi's with some T5 as well. I used to run a huge ASM G5 skimmer and a Koralin 3002 calcium reactor. Now I see that ecotech makes some highly rated LED lights as well as considering the redsea reef 90s. We are almost ready to pull the trigger on a Redsea Reefer 350 and I'm debating pumps lights and skimmers. Anyone that can share some knowledge and opinion on equipment, I would greatly appreciate it. I've included some pics of our previous tanks. It's been a long time and a lot has changed.

Welcome! Many different preferences on pumps, lights and skimmers. I personally like panworld, radions & kessells, and reef octopus!

Panworld if I'm not mistaken makes exterior pumps. I remember these being great. I'm really also looking to keep the new rank nice and quiet. Wifey's rules. Lol. I need a good quality efficient submerged return pump. Lights, I've been reading about and leaning towards the radions vs the Kessel. Thank you for the input. I appreciate it.
