Hello, new member here. I am in the process of getting back into the reef hobby after quite a few years of absence. I am not new to the hobby, having kept freshwater and marine aquariums on and off since I was 12 years old. Sadly, I had to break down and sell a very large and well-established reef tank prior to a long-distance relocation to a new home quite a few years ago.
Fast forward to last year when my 12-year-old son wanted an aquarium for his room. He and I built him a planted 10 gallon betta tank which in turn created a desire to build one of my own. Since then, I have built 10, 29, and 40 gallon planted freshwater tanks in the guest bedroom. Uh, itch not completely scratched. Now I am gathering equipment to start another reef build. Wish me luck.
It seems that the saltwater world has changed somewhat since I last kept live saltwater fish and corals and I am currently soaking up knowledge from this site and many others. I plan to post a build thread at some point as I continue forward. Looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully I don't screw this up.
