First post, like my title says, returning to the hobby after a 9 year hiatus. Now I have a 12 gallon Reef Casa Tide, mixed reef with two clowns and sand sifting goby (very small right now, about 1”, and transferring to larger tank later). Lighting is a Kessil A160 with controller. Figuring out my ATO cause last one was cheap and broke immediately. Tank is 3 months old, not at the algae hair stage yet but strong cycle right now. Just found some live rotifers on the glass that I poured in a month ago, so I think it’s a good sign.
