Hello All - I wanted to introduce myself since I’ll likely be posting a lot in this forum. I’ve been out of the hobby for about 20 years, got back into it about a year ago. How things have changed. I had a 90g before that was doing pretty well, but had to move, bought a house, had some kids, and never picked up the hobby after. I still have a little treasure trove of equipment in my basement, albeit 20 yrs old. My new tank is a 180g peninsula rimless. I’m going through the usual growing pains with a 1 yr old tank, hair algae, re-learning what to do and how to cope. I read this thread (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/should-i-just-restart.1057368/page-7) and it’s exactly what’s happening in my tank. I’ve got a fuge, nice skimmer, UV light, Apex controller, and AI lights. I’m run the lights on the lower end hoping that will not encourage algae growth. Also have a Duncan colony, Leather, Torch, Candy Cane, Monitpora, and Kenya Tree. A couple tangs, two clowns, a couple pajama cardinals, sand sifting blenny, and a couple others. Looking forward to the challenge and discussing topics with everyone here. Thanks!

It's good to hear of another old timer coming back to the fold. Ssme basic thing happened with me, but with only a 12 year gap. My last tank was a 90 standard. I look forward to seeing you out there!

So Greetings and Welcome to our collective obsession!!!!
