Hi there
A new guy here.
A had a few reef tanks like 12-15 years ago. Back in the days I started with a 250l reef tank. After a few months I decided two tanks were too much hassle and I converted my 600 Tanganyika tank to be a reef one. Being built as a freshwater tank in mind, it had some design flaws (cabinet not tall enough etc) and it was nightmare to deal with. So after a year I swapped it for a Red Sea cube nano-ish tank (can't remember measurements now). One more year passed, everything was going smoothish, but then I changed the country and had to abandon the hobby.
Fast forward 12 years and here I am back again with a fresh new 80l all in one nano cube. Turns out I have forgotten all I knew about reefs (and it wasn't that much to begin with), so guys, bear with me. I'll have a lot of questions :)

Originally Bulgarian, but for the last 12 years I've been living in New Zealand, which I call home now.
