Good deal. I met some Navy folks while I was at the University of Arizona.
One of them was EOD. That is a crazy job. I just gave everyone nipr and sipr connections and email.

Hello all!

Glad to be sucked back into this hobby after about 10 years. I had a 29gal saltwater in high school that was going great, and then I got told that I was going to bootcamp early, so I had to sell everything in a hurry. I then had a 75gal LPS/SPS tank setup and had specific instructions for my now ex-wife to take care of the tank while I was deployed. To put it lightly, the whole tank crashed probably within the first 2 months of me being gone. Fast forward military time and a traveling lineman apprenticeship, I have finally setup a Red Sea Reefer170 to play with again. Its only been cycling for about 5 weeks now, I cant wait until I can start adding livestock in there. It just looks so bare without any movement or life in it.

Anyways, Im happy to be back in the reefing hobby and look forward to all of the information offered on this forum!

Hi Alec and Welcome! Glad you joined. Thank you for your service!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. 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 and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:
