I took a hiatus for 11 years and in the winter of 2019 my wife asked if we could get "fish" again. O.K. here we go!!! The main difference now compared to back then is my patience. I started acquiring different pieces of the puzzle and still haven't got up and running, and i'm o.k. with that. The setup will be the largest I've done but not large by any means. We have a small house and not much room. I chose a standard 65 gallon display that will be a peninsula with overflow going to basement for extra tank and equipment. At this point I'm thinking about a 50 gallon (because I already own it) refugium/extra space tank and then overflow this to an equipment sump. I see lots of great ideas using stock tanks and I'm leaning towards this option as the equipment tank. l'm looking forward to this experience again and learning a lot more.
