Returning to the hobby after decades :)

[Sharis100]

Hi, my kids convinced me to restart my ancient nano tank and got me a biocube 32. After a couple of months of this, I decided to go slightly bigger with a Red Sea reefer 250 v3 deluxe. Things have changed a lot since I left the hobby decades ago. Tremendous improvement and I no longer have to play chemist and can enjoy my tank . The lights are the AI hydra 26s, adding MP40x2 and motor will be Vectra S1. Not sure if skimmer- thinking Reef Octopus S-130 if it fits..... using nano tunze and custom ATO. Really enjoy Pelphrey’s advice :). Ordered a custom acrylic and mesh cover, hopefully will be here soon. Was told the tank is shipping next week, so hopefully will have pictures soon. Have an external board for my equipment monitors including APEX FMK etc.... not sure how all this will turn out, but at least this is fun :).

Yes I actually did order from them! Just need to verify that the light stands that come with my tank are the ones Red Sea says so that I can let Artfully Acrylic know to finish the back of the frame up.
