Hey reefers

Im Ben, I’ve lurked on here for a while but I’m back in the game! I had tanks in college but I took time away from the hobbyfor a decade or so. I started back into it with a Red Sea Max 130d that I added a sump and LED’s to but I couldn’t get the parameters right and tbh the small working area made such a chore of maintaining the thing that I stopped caring and just did the bare minimum of work to keep the inhabitants alive.

Last August I ordered a 4x2x2 starphire tank from Glasscages (I’m in Nashville and love supporting local businesses) and after a couple hiccups I took it home in October.

built my stand and hood but with a new business I had trouble finding the time to finish the whole thing - until a global pandemic hit! I built a sump room in my basement to act as a support for the floor and allow adequate room for all the equipment I wanted to set up and now it’s been running for 2 months or thereabouts.

next post I’ll add my equipment setup and pics, but I’m excited to be back to it and part of the R2R community.

My scape is all the new base rock, but I threw all my old live rock in for the time being to seed coralline algae - it’s working! Tiny purple dots popping up all over the place.
