Little background on me. I am kind of old salt. I started reefing about 25yrs ago when I was in high school.
Started with 29g tank and end up with 700g inwall mixed reef tank (8'x4'x2') before I decided to step away from the hobby 7 years ago. When my kids where small and I wanted to dedicate my time to them instead of my tank. Also, at the time I getting tired of taking care of such large tank. Doing 120g water changes with buckets took forever..![Er... what? o_O o_O](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Just kidding.. I had the sump tied to the landry sink so, it was just had to turn a few ball valves. So I decided to give it up and sell everything.
But now my kids are older and no longer needs me (actually the don't want me around anymore..
). I thought, what about pick up a hobby. How about stamping collecting (too boring), golfing (I actually suck) and biking (didn't want to be run over). I got it, Reefing!! This was a discussion I had with my wife. At first, she said "NO". Then a few weeks of persistance and the promise not to get anything bigger than a nano did the trick. But I ordered a 75g tank instead (easier to ask forgive later..
)
So, I decide to document my journey back into the hobby..
By the way.. here is pic of my 700g reef before taking it down..
