Wow 30 years welcome back heck I quit about the time leds were just coming on the scene and algae scrubbers were going to save the world. And I’m still blown away. I’m still sporting bioballs in my vintage tank.

Yep. LOTS of changes, yes? I'm floored as well. 30 years ago it was put water in tank. Put fish in water. That was pretty much it.

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

I kept a Berlin style reef back in the early 1990's in college with a WetDry filter, Turboflotor protein skimmer and live wet rock I order from an ad in a magazine, shipped from Fiji. And yes, I had a $20 Yellow Tang. After moving away after college, I stuck with freshwater planted tanks. Got into aquascaping, and even entered a few competitions at local expos.

Started a 60g cube four months ago and enjoying learning all the ways the hobby has changed over the past decades. Pleased to find that a lot of aquacultured animals are available now!

Welcome to Reef2Reef and back to the salty world! Glad you've decided to join us. And that $20 yellow tang is WILD!

Welcome back to the hobby! What are your plans with the 60g?

Welcome, glad you are here! I had a $20 yellow tang , back in the mid nineties, as well.

Welcome back to the hobby! What are your plans with the 60g?

Well, initially it was FOWLR. Now maybe just a few easy softies. But I'll see how it goes! I really don't want to become a Chemist, so that's going to limit me. I'll do the water changes, sure. But testing and dosing and chasing parameters doesn't sound like fun.
