Returning to the hobby/addiction after a long hiatus. I've kept mixed reef and SPS tanks over the last 20+ years. Recently got my fix by SCUBA diving in Hawai'i over the last year, but the cold waters of the West Coast have kept me out of the water for now.

My current tank is a mixed 25g cube that was taken over from a terminally ill veteran in the local area, with a goal to keep his durable on long living clown happy and healthy. As time allows I'll post a tank thread with more details.

Hi Chris and Welcome! Glad you joined.

Excited you already plan documenting your tank's evolution! It's admirable you've taken on care for his clownfish. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It might give your veteran friend some joy if he were even able to contribute some older photos to your thread as backstory on your tank.

This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
