Hi all. I've been in and out of the hobby for probably about 15 years. I took a10 year break when I got a wife and kids. But got back in about 5 years ago.

I got back in with a 34 Solana. I loved all the new advances, which made keeping a bank tank much easier. I like a more natural approach and filter with just a skimmer and ats/refugium combo. After about 4 years I had a thriving mixed reef tank (from softies to acros) and got the itch to upgrade.

I found a 60g setup and upgraded. That's been up and running the last 8-9 months now and I'm really enjoying it. I transplanted most of my corals from the 34. I did lose a few acros unfortunately, but everything else did well. I'm now filling up the extra space I have. It's fun watching the frags grow up!

Here's a couple pictures of my tanks. The support crowded one was my 34g Solana. The other one is my current 60g setup. Believe it or not almost all the same corals from the 34 are in the 60. I'm not used to all the empty space yet...
