Returning to the hobby after 6 years away

[Seanathon]

Hello! I used to run a 90 gallon reef tank. Now I’m back with a 28g nano cube that I scored for free. I’m waiting for a few more things to come in the mail and I’ll be setting it up by Thursday this week I hope.

Any tips for a quick cycle? I was thinking of throwing in some display tank worthy macro algae pretty early. I haven’t tried it before.

Welcome, glad you are here! Real ocean live rock will provide basically an instant cycle.

I went from a 90g down to a 36g nano for a season. Then I went to a 56g and now have a 75g. Welcome to R2R!

Welcome! How long is the Seanathon?

Live rock is the most assured cycle as mentioned. Otherwise bottle bacteria and ammonium dosing or decomposing food

LOL, what is really funny is with each one I claimed that this would be my forever tank! Life happens and things change and so did my tanks. I will say that I enjoyed every single one of them and most of them I had about 8 yrs each. The 75g was just set up this past Sept. so its a fairly recent tank for me, even though everything in it is older.
