Back in the salt game

Hi so I got the email about not posting. So here it goes. I have been in the hobby for almost 11 years now most of the time was with mixed reefs.
My first tank was the standard 90gal 18x24x48 with 400watt 2pk radiums and t5 supplement. Ran this setup for about 4 years. Was a okay tank I learned alot from it and made alot of mistakes.
The second tank was a 72gal bow front sps dominate with alot of zoa gardens. Was a 5 year old tank when it crashed after a move. I ran the halides for the first year then switched too the chinese black box LEDs. Wasn't happy with them but not disappointed with them. I ran a bubble magus curve 5 still run it now.
My new tank is a 24x24x24 euro brace custom build. It has a bean animal overflow, bare bottom and lots of flow. It will be a sps build and has been running for 3 months now. I switched over too the hydra 52hd. So far I'm happy with it.
So those are my tanks builds. Here are a couple of pics of the cube and the 72 bow front

I'm a long time lurker. I have been using the r2r community as reference for along time. So it's about time I got more involved so any questions feel free to ask. I have alittle bit of experience and eager to share. This hobby can be very frustrating or extremely rewarding. So its nice to have lots of other fish nerds too learn from.
