I have been out of the hobby for about 10 years decided to jump back in. A few months ago I setup a Waterbox 60.2 that will be a mixed reef tank and recently began stocking it. I have some expirience in hobby but a lot seems to have changed in the last 10-12 years. My profession is computers and information technology and I am an avid "maker" and "tinkerer". I have set the goal of using DIY and home made automation as much as possible to maintain this tank. I will share some of my projects as they progress.
