Hi, all!
After a +3 year hiatus, I'm back into the hobby and hopefully will be more active on this site.

Cancer and an eventual organ transplant was the reason I had to leave for awhile. My improved overall heatlth, strength and the forgotten passion for the hobby is what brought me back.
With everthing else that was going on at the time, I forgot how much I enjoyed reefing and and being into the hobby.
Just trying to play catch up quickly - amazing how much freshwater/planted tanks have made their presence known.
I have 4 tanks - for now lol:
1) Planted freshwater - fish and juvenile turtles
2) Nano reef - clownfish, other livestock, anemones and soft corals
3) Planted freshwater - some mollies and snails
4) Planted freshwater - corys, snails and shrimp

Just wanted to say 'hi' to all and hope I can contrbute to this forum.
Take care -Rik

Welcome back, glad you are here and that you’re doing well! I too had cancer and an organ transplant. Took 3 years away from me.
