Hi all. I am new here, but not so new at reef keeping. My husband and I started 30 years ago with a 10 gallon tank for our sons' goldfish - which became a 20, then a 55. After a housefire killed all our fish, including a 12 year old pleco, we took a break. In 2012 we got a biocube 14. Went through all the newbie mistakes (especially no QT!), then in March this year it sprang a leak so we replaced it with a 29. Tomorrow our new 75 gallon rimless arrives! Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
 
Thanks! It is an addictive hobby. We also have a 10 we set up in August when our clowns would not accept a ywg. So he and his Randalli buddy have their own pad til we get the 75 set up (which may be a while as we have never set up a sump).
Here's the biocube a month or so ago.
