"Honey, I promise I won't spend lots of money on Reef tanks as I did last time! "

[Rafiki]

Hello Everyone, It's been 12 years since I owned a reef tank. I stopped the addiction in 2010 and had no tanks. But then in 2021, I was at the Del Mar fair and some stranger asked me if I wanted a betta fish they had won. My wife proudly said, "YES, my husband can take good care of it!" Flash forward to 2024. I now have about 4 freshwater tanks, and I am now being gifted a 75-gallon saltwater tank with some live rock in it. I'm here to relearn how to reef. Back into the deep black hole I go again...

First of all, welcome!

I am in a very similar place. I have been into fishkeeping on and off since I was a kid back in the 80's. My last "real" reef tank goes back to about 2012 ish, when I had to break down my 125 gallon due to a house move. I have kept freshwater tanks in between, but no saltwater tanks until I just got back in with two small tanks started November 13th. I feel like I need to relearn so much, as well as gain new skills, such as quarantining livestock, which is something I never did back in the day (And had a lot of pests as a result).

There's lot's of great members here at R2R that I'm sure will help you as needed; they have helped me tremendously, and for that I am very grateful.

My humble advice would be to place your wallet in a container of freshwater and freeze it in your freezer ;-) That's the only way to limit how much money you spend on this hobby

Welcome again, and best of luck!
