Hello Reef2Reef
My name is Scott. Just wanted to say Hello and introduce my self. I'm a salt water aquarist from way back... Can't say I'm a reefer yet. Back in the day I had an 80 gal fish only salt tank. Before I went "Dry" I did have live rock in my tank. Much has changed in the hobby since I started... the internet for one...
Wet/Dry sumps with Bio Balls were the method of filtration... I also ran a DIY protein skimmer... and "Daylight" fluorescent bulbs. HO and VHO (High output and very high output) fluorescent bulbs were the high tech upgrade... refugiums were cutting edge marine biologist stuff.
I'm amazed by the info available today. It's a bit overwhelming. My go to back then was Matrin Moe Jr.'s "Marine Aquarium Handbook" and "Marine Aquarium Reference"
So I guess you can say I am an "Old Salt"... Just purchased a used 80g cube. Working on a budget and system design to start with. Looking forward to "meeting" new folks in the Salt community, and enjoying the hobby together...
