Hi R2R and all you reefers out there. A little background on myself. Started my 1st saltwater tank in Norfolk VA in 1970. Made uncountable walks from the beach to the house, with a 5 gal bucket, hauling live beach sand (shudder) and Chesapeake Bay water (double shudder) for a 20 long. Had an Aquamaster box filter and netted my own Silversides, Atlantic Spadefish, inverts and a baby Horseshoe crab. Never lost a thing to my recollection (beginners luck!) and upon discharge from the Navy returned them from whence they came. Over the years I've had many salt tanks from 20g to 125g. I even ran my own saltwater aquarium installation and maintenance company for a while. Got out of the "Hobby" 16 years ago after a catastrophic loss from a bad RO unit which poisoned my 55g FOWLR with iron and copper. My wife and I are about to relocate to sunny Fla and one of the first things we want is a FOWLR again, probably a Nano. Rest assured I'll have lots of stupid questions because I've found that technology has come a long, long way in 16 years. I look forward to getting advice and input on accessories, lighting, cycling, and livestock from you more seasoned veterans. And yes, I will foto document my tank as I go along. Can't wait to start!
