New member here trying saltwater tank again, have had aquariums since I was 10 years old tried saltwater during 80s when all we had was AirStone driven undergravel filter and fluorescent lights so did not have much luck, have been keeping African cichlids since then.
Cycling a 20-gallon nano reef tank now so I am looking forward to using this new technology for success with corals.

Hi! I got back into the hobby/addiction last summer after being out for close to a decade

it’s like riding a bike… over broken glass, hot coals and nails lol

in all seriousness, still the nicest most welcoming group of people I’ve known and such a rewarding experience

happy reefing!

Welcome! Glad you joined. Yes I remember those days, but it was a step up not to have wooden airstones - though MarineLand had pumps that drove my undergravel tubes in late 80s.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
