Hey everyone! After owning several tanks that I had bought from people on Craigslist/Facebook and doing things cheap and high maintenance I swore that when I got back into the hobby it would be with new equipment and with some automation. After about 8 years away, I bought a brand new Reefer 250 G2 from my LFS October of 2022. I've had the tank running for a year now and struggled through failed quarantine, disease management, cyan, Dinos, super low nutrients and am FINALLY getting things relatively stable.

I live in Alaska so we don't have a lot of access to much of anything, always have to pay for shipping, and very often just simply can't get things shipped. My LFS is small but the guys are great and they work hard to get people what is needed. I'm not really an activate participant in forums but have ALWAYS followed this community and discussion groups when I run into problems.
