Finally got a setup to get back into reefing. Had a 75 gallon years ago and sold it when we were going to sell the house. Ended up not moving and hated being tankless. Been searching for awhile and after many headaches, not such good deals, sellers who changed their mind, I finally found a setup I liked that fit right where I wanted.

Ended up with a 60 gallon cube, tank had been running for a couple years. I ended up getting a lot more equipment then I thought. Moved it yesterday and what a pain that was! Took 2 hours to tear down and crammed my wife explorer full.

Got home and wife cleaned the tank (thanks honey!) While I made the fish happy in their tote and got to work on the stand. The top had water damage so I built a new out out of 3/4" solid wood. Everything took longer then expected so ended the night with the tank 1/4 full enough for the live rock, added a powerhead and heater. Will finish it up tonight I hope. I have a bit of extra equipment I wont be using so hope to recoup some of my money.

Went shopping yesterday, added 3 new corals, a cleaner shrimp, 2 peppermints, 1 emerald crab, a bubbletip anemone and a large coral beauty.
