Hello everyone new to the forums, just got back into the hobby after 10 years.
Welcome to R2R and back to the salty world. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.
 
Hello everyone new to the forums, just got back into the hobby after 10 years.
Oh my gosh has there been a lot of changes. Changes in technology, as well as changes in the thoughts on how how to dose, and what to dose. Ten years ago, there were only about 3 viable options for alk and calc, but now we have things like all for reef, and calcium formate, etc. Many of the old prevailing thoughts have been abandoned, and some lasted through the test of time.

Take it from someone who recently reentered the hobby after 5 years, you have a lot of reading to do LOL... I recommend youtube like from BRS, etc. to help you examine some of the products, but here is some hard data mixed with opinion.

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:
