Hey everyone. Well, over 3 years and 2 babies later. A new career and home ownership, I think we are ready to get a reef tank again. With my daughter being almost 3, she's very into nature and animals and loves fish and corals. So, help me get back into my the hobby. I have forgotten just about everything including tank parameters. I want a 75 to 90 gallon. Thinking more along the lines of 75 due to cost and maintenance. So help me out. What's new? What's cool? And what do I need to know? Thanks reef2reef family!

Welcome back!

Start with lighting, that's where all the recent advances have been made, at least in my opinion

budget LED's include Ocean Revive Artcic T247, SB ReefLites, and Reef Breeders Photons, im pretty sure all are sub 400$

I got a pair of Arctic T247's on ebay for 350$. heck people have tons of success with Chinese black boxes, and T5's never hurt anyone either ;)
