I have waited over 20 years, and in the last few months I have read, reread and learned alot about new reef techniques and processes and equipment.
I dusted off old equipment and my old tank and am almost ready to begin again.
I built my own calcium reactor based on the experiences of folks who have been reefing in my absence.
My reactor cost me significantly less than a store bought unit.
Further research led me to build my own dual stage regulator. Again I used information gathered here and on another site, I bought a used regulator for $50, and all the fittings at swagelok for about $200.
