Reefing and R2R Newbie

[KaferMike]

At 55 years old, I'm new to the R2R site and the reefing hobby, though I had maintained quite a few freshwater tanks as a youth. My son is the aquatics lead at a LFS. He gave me a 10g starter tanks as a birthday gift earlier this year which has fueled my interest in learning (and increased father-son conversations and bonding as he clearly "...knows more than the ol' man ;)). That tank has done well and I've learned quite a bit, but I soon realized I wanted something a bit larger. Fast forward 6 month, I just finished building out a 40B/20L display and sump combo that I'm in the process of cycling and starting as a mixed reef tank (i.e softies and LPS). And I'm looking forward to continuing to learn and grow in both.

Yes the sons always know better than dad. Or so they believe. My son also thinks he is a better driver than me because he drives faster.
