Hello world

Hey y’all,

I’m blueflacon! I started my salt water adventure in 2015. I was in the Marine corps stationed in California when I saw a used aquarium setup for a decent price. I purchased the 40 gallon tank, stand, sump, and RODI unit and went to work.
Like every new goer, I spent a ton of money to get it running, threw fish in it and learned to slow down after I got started.

after about 8 months, The “great” state of California experienced a large fire and I experienced a 4 day power outage. Without backups, after day 1 my lovely boxfish and the rest of my crew parished.
Here I am now, 2021, out of the Marines and back home. I purchased a Redsea 250v3 roughly a month ago! I’m back in the hobby!!!!

so after talking with my local fish guy, I learned nearly all of my 2015 equipment has been pushed aside to this new fancy wifi (built in) stuff.
So anyway, long backstory but here I am. Newish to the hobby after a revamp. I’m glad to be here and can’t wait to poke my head around the forums.
