Hi all.

I decided to check out R2R after hearing about it so often when watching BRS videos.

I currently have a 75gal drilled peninsula style between the living room and kitchen. It's been a great setup going on 5 years, but was already used when I picked up the tank and stand used (free!). I originally grabbed it just because it was free, and had no plans or idea what to do with it. All I had back then was a little 20 long planted freshwater tank. Things went great, and last year I'd even started a little frag tank so i could do some swapping and selling last year. Summer came along, and I got so side-tracked with weekend trips and outdoor projects, that I procrastinated my poor reef into a crash. Fish, inverts and softies all made it through, but what SPS and LPS I had are long gone.

Seeing as I'm left with much fewer corals to deal with, I decided 2019 will be time to move on from the used freebie tank into something else. I'm starting the planning for a ~90 gal cube build and hope to have it running by spring.
I heard of this place through the BRS videos too. They provide fantastic information for the newbies and the veterans. Welcome to R2R. You will love it here.

I don't have any decent full tank shots before the crash, but this is what I picked up free at the time. You can see the size of the birdsnest and acro that had started growing through each other. Each started as a 2in piece of rubble. It was around this point when I realized that I could actually keep SPS successfully and started trying a few others.

And this is what I'm hoping to start working on.
