I joined R2R back in 2014 when I first got into the hobby. Admittedly I’m more of a reader than a poster, hence my abysmally low post count lol. I’m going to try to be more interactive I live in NC, we just moved from the coast to mid-state for my job. I’m an ER veterinarian.

I started back in 2014 with a 50 gal tank that I swapped from fresh to salt, and within a few yrs was up to 200 gallons. I traded my big tank before the move - I was traveling a lot for work and my family at home didn’t really know what they were doing with my tank and we had a tragic crash. Seemed like a good time for a break since the house was on the market. Currently I have my 25 gal QT running with the 2 surviving fish, a bunch of nems and a few softies. I just ordered a new custom tank which I’m hoping to get in 4-6 wks.

I just put my rocks together for the new build - on my dining room table. When the new heaters get here, they’ll go in bins in the garage for curing so they’ll be ready when the tank gets here. I can’t wait to get my reef up and running again. I cried for weeks after the crash but I’m ready to start over.

I’m in the Greensboro area if anyone is nearby - actually in Elon but that’s close enough. I’ve already discovered Triad Reef Critters and I’m excited to be close to a reasonably sized store for once! Used the be quite the drive when I lived at the coast... seems counter intuitive for some reason but there it is.

Hello all,
Back into the reef side after a few years break, have a 220 gallon setup, very old school, live rock wall, live rock filled 75 gallon sump, with a 20 gallon chaeto refugium above it and a 40 breeder newly added frag tank. Started my first reef tank in the mid to late 90s. Had an aquarium hobby break from 2012 to 2016, and upgraded my 75 gallon fish only system in 2019 to my current system.
