After 15 years away from the hobby my wife and I have begun again with two small freshwaters and a RS Reefer 350 salt. It's been six months now and we're glad to be back. What tech has done for the hobby is amazing. I retired (sort of) this year and decided to go for the tech. Have incorporated an Apex w/Trident and two Neptune Doses to handle Calc/Alk and auto water changes. I've got a fish mix I like with a couple of Fire Gobies, three Green Chromis, Yellow Watchman Goby and Pistol Shrimp, Canary Blenny, Lawnmower Blenny, a pair of Perculas, Royal Gramma, Tomini Tang, and a McCosker's Wrasse.

Corals: mix of LPS, SPS, Favias, Meat, Colt, Bird's Nest, Chalises, Duncan, and probably something else I've forgotten. About 18 in total and mostly frags so still a lot of vacant real estate. At 74 I hope I'm around when they all fill the tank. :)
It's been fun and a challenge learning the new tech and equipment. My old reef tank was a converted 55 fresh tank (not drilled) and incorporated a Jaubert approach which did very well for years. That's about it.

Thanks, all. Looking forward to knowing you.
