Welcome - Much respect for doing it 20 years ago.

Alot has changed - become more expensive but for sure more options. Looking forward to learn from your knowledge set.

Welcome. I look forward to seeing your progress as I'm in a similar spot.

Decided to get back into this 6 months ago after a 20-year pause. I'm now only days away from finally getting water in my tank.

Me too after a 10 year pause!

Hey all! Good to meet you all.

I had a reef tank long ago in our previous house. It was a pieced together Oceanic 55g tank w/ MH lighting, chiller, canister, skimmer etc. I hated freshwater so I converted to saltwater.

Now that both the wife and I are retired, I am ready to start up again. I look forward to a lot of the technology changes since the old days. I have confused the heck out of myself by reading too much about tanks and stuff so I look forward to input since there is a lot of new stuff.

I too, just retired and I'm leaving the Caribbean where I've worked for over 10 years and we're returning to Florida to be closer to our kids and grand kids. Lots of years reefing, but lots has changed since I left the US. I'm currently trying to decide how big a tank and what equipment to start with. Lots of great articles providing a lot of food for thought. Now that I'm on a fixed income, I need to be much more frugal. A new experience. I'll keep you posted as I get started in December.
