Jumping back into the ocean

[Zero_Cool]

Previous member of CMAS (Chicago Marine Aquarium Society) until a move 12 years ago. Boxed up a bunch of gear and moved it all twice (including 250 lbs of Caribbean play sand that will now not get used as I am planning bare bottom). My wife wanted to get the tank started again so..... here we go

Doing a ton of research and watching YouTube (which wasn't available when I was last in the hobby). Wow what a great resource.

Target restart for the 180g build is January or so (provided it still holds water).

Looking forward to learning more from this community.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

I started about 10 years ago and there is definitely far more information available now! Between YouTube and Reef2Reef your new tank will do great!

Absolutely. Spent the last 2 weeks watching their 52 weeks, WWC and 5 minute reef series. Very well done.

Welcome! Glad you joined.

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). It's never too early to start documenting... and that sand may still come in handy for some additional second tank you both may decide you want in the future.

This might help you find people local to you in Memphis:

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

Hi and welcome to Reef2Reef!

Hi! Welcome back to reefing and welcome to R2R! Here you’ll find people are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Hopefully you’ll start a build thread. I’d love to see your build as it progresses. I have to ask though, are you a fan of the movie “Hackers”? I assume that’s where zero-cool comes from.

Nice! Welcome back and to R2R! Don't forget to start a build thread so we can follow your progress. :)
