Returning NYC Reefer

[sandybottom]

Greetings fellow reefers!

I got into reefing back in the mid 90’s and took a long hiatus after college due to work commitments. I later intended to start a RSM 130d in 2013 which got back burnered…again, due to work. Tank had been sitting in storage for quite time.

Ultimately, the start of the pandemic afforded me plenty of time to finally get things going, although I had to relearn and retool having been out of the hobby for so long. Wow what changes! It’s certainly been fun playing catch-up.

My mixed reef RSM 130d w/ Steve’s LEDs has been doing great since March 2020 with several Rose BTA’s, SPS, LPS and nano friendly fish including a mated pair of occelaris clowns. I have since decided to upgrade to a Red Sea Reefer 200xl and will be working on transferring all the livestock over in the next couple of weeks. I may have to start a build thread to track progress!

We have a lot in common, except i started and quit in the late 70’s and early 80’s
tons of good people to learn from hear, challenge is to figure out how the take the mean of the advice, and ignore the outliers - smile

Welcome and welcome back to hobby! Glad you joined. Like riding a bike, it will come back to you quick

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. 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:
