Back to the Reef

Just saying hello...

I had a reef tank 10 years ago that I loved, and am just now getting back into it. So much has changed! OMG! Much more information, better equipment, etc. This is a good time to be in reefing I'd say.

My old tank got demolished by aiptasia. Back then the wisdom was "joes juice it all", which just probably made it worse, and finally I just gave up in frustration and went to a planted FW tank. Then moved, switched to a smaller tank, and then moved again to the present location where I can have a larger tank again. So I've setup a Waterbox 130.4 that is amazing and am having fun (and problems) all over again. But no aiptasia this time (yet). :-D

Welcome!

Glad you joined. I'm more a fan of Frank's F-Aiptasia so it gets smothered and no fear of needle breaking off bits (that grow into new ones!)

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. Like you, 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)
