Hi my name is Don. I live in Millbrae Ca. I had numerous tanks 20 plus years ago. Started with freshwater aggressive and moved to salt. When I shut everything down 20 years ago. I had a 240 gal Reef next to a 300 Shark/lion and eel tank. The aggressive fish went to Marine World in Vallejo Ca. We shut it all down because we bought a house and were raising 3 kids.

Now the kids have moved out and we have space and time for a tank again.

I am starting small again. I have a 10 gal Nuvio fusion pro sitting on a end table in the living room. Was supposed to be quarantine tank now a mini reef. It has an Tunze ATO, Kessile A360x.

I also have a RSR170. It has a Radion G4 15, Reef Octo150, Co2 scrubber, GFO/Carbon reactor, Trying to get the Aquamaxx rs170(not in stock). I have also added a complete Neptune system (ATK,LDK,PM2(extra probes),DOS, DDR,Trident,Cor20,FMM and multiple optical sensors). I figured I will eventually go bigger so get everything for that now.

Been running a few months now. I found out about REEF 2 REEF from WWC and their Octoberfest. That was an awesome event and talked to a few members on that thread over that weekend. I received my corals yesterday. They are amazing.

I will do a build of what I have going on soon. I need to put all the pictures together. Unfortunately I had hand surgery on 9/30. It did not go as planned, They are going back in on 10-15-20. Had a complication. Trapped tendon.

Well I am looking forward to meeting some reefers in my area and learn what I have missed over the last 20 years.

Thanks in advance to everyone on here.

I am finding that out. Totally different way of doing stuff now. I am reading and watching everything I can find right now. BRS has a ton of great videos. I have watched the whole 52 weeks of reefing.
 
Don!!! Welcome!!!
And I thought I had been out of the game for a long time! Some photos of your current systems is always appreciated.
Will do as soon as I recover from my redo surgery I will try to find a pic of my old tank also
