I'm back!

MeDatReef · Feb 18, 2025

After years of being out of the hobby, I'm finally ready to take the plunge back in. Purchased a small AIO 22G tank to ease me back into it, with future plans for a 220 DT mixed reef that will be plumbed into basement sump/fishroom. I have had several tanks in the past, but due to building a house, having kids, life... I sold everything about 6 years ago and have missed it since that day. I'm so excited to start this process again and learn from my previous mistakes and do everything right this time (Hopefully :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:). So much has changed, but I've been reading and watching everything I can to get caught up on current equipment and practices. Looking forward to seeing you all around!

Thank you so much for asking! Short term plans consist of a small softy tank (due to lighting) with only a pair of clowns. Will be keeping it very basic and low key, just enough to "scratch the itch" while I do my full build. Long term, it eventually will be a frag tank that is in the fishroom, once the big tank goes in. Just need some time to acquire everything at a pace that won't get me divorced lol.

Thank you, I have told myself that I need to document everything for that exact purpose. I'd love to be more involved this time than last time, as I was a longtime lurker. This community is truly unlike any other and I've really grown to appreciate the time and dedication that everyone puts into posting/documenting/advice etc..
