Ready to Reef again ...

Hi everybody! Starting the process of getting back into reefing. History of freshwater as a teenager and then tried a reef tank 15 years ago and had some fun and thrill. Got out when the family bloomed instead of the algae! Kids are now all grown so I have all this extra cash that needs to be spent :) Considering a "custom" build with a 120g-ish show and 40g breeder sump with fish and corals.

The coolest part I am looking forward to is the amazing technology boom and YouTube. Seeing all the reefer tanks, product reviews and general love of the hobby is giving me hope of success.

Looking forward to all your help ...

Hi Christian and Welcome (Welcome Back)! 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 wish I had started while in planning phase, which sounds like you might still be in. Instead, 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 is a good reference book type online article I still review:
