I too was in the 90's salt tank hobby and then took a break. I wish I didn't, but I'm happy I came back. You will feel the same, I'm sure. Welcome to R2R!

Welcome home. You will love it here. I was out of the game for 10 years. This site was instrumental in getting back up to speed. Such a wealth of knowledge.

Welcome! Not to scare you but

Oh yeah. That post is what made me fold and go with the Red Sea chemicals. I am not a merciful reef keeper.

Welcome to the Joy's of reefing! The daily battle of keeping the good stuff in and the bad stuff out, Killing the bad stuff while keeping the good stuff alive. Good times!

Well glad you came, when you get a chance you should show us what you are working with. We love pics of all kinds!

Well glad you came, when you get a chance you should show us what you are working with. We love pics of all kinds!

Running a stock Red Sea Max-E 170 with a cheapo powerhead on upper left. Have 40 lbs of Live rock from the original owner and added another 20 lbs or gulf rock to freshen things up with 40 lbs of live sand for a 2 inch bed. Have 300 watt Eheim Jager for those cold nights.

Why is it everyone wants pics online?

But here you go:

The Tank, a little bit of the ugglies going on, not a surprise for 4 weeks in.

Close up of some macroalgae that came in on the Live rock, I know I have Caulerpa in the middle, no idea what's on the right of it, its small and looks like little pom poms connected by stems (you can see some Halimeda and turtle grass on the bottom left )

Better shot of the Halimeda

A couple of small Polyps of some kind on another piece of rock that seem to be holding on

I grew up on the island on Comack. I know I had a few lions and 1 snowflake eel at some point

Nice, I went to Hofstra!

Well...they are more interesting sometimes than a wall of text. Also someone much smarter than me said a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Still glad to have you.

Sorry it was an off color joke.

Several reasons why we like pics, a few off the top of my head are.... 1 - We all LOVE the hobby and we are excited that you joined our family and want to see your tank! 2 - Every tank is different, we can pull aquascape ideas or if you have specific questions we can see what you are working with. 3 - other members with the same tank can chat with you to pull ideas you have in your tank that works for you that they might want to try or visa versa. 4 - WE SIMPLY LOVE PICS!!! :)

No need to apologize, no offense taken, was just answering the question because you never know now a days. Lol
