Hey there! I've been lurking for a bit but figured it was time to introduce myself. Currently getting back into the hobby after 10+ years. Already having fun researching and going down the many rabbit holes of this hobby.
First tank was a 55 gallon some friends gave us. Had a few chromis, a blenny, and I think one other fish I can't remember, plus a cleaner shrimp (love those guys).
Nothing fancy, didn't even add coral, but had some polyp thingy grow which was cool.
Getting back into it I ended up buying a 75gal setup used. I quickly realized it was too large so I temporarily set it up in the garage to keep the rock going along with some CUC. Fish went to a LFS to get a good new home. Started planning a 30 gallon tank with a sump but I wanted something inside sooner so I'm currently in the middle of setting up a IM15 with a noopsyche mini for lighting.
Dream fish at the moment would be a Mandarin Dragonette but that'll be down the line once I get the 30gal set up with a refugium and pods and running for a while. In the meantime, I'm looking at a firefish, cleaner shrimp, and pistol shrimp and goby pair for the IM15 as a start.
Very excited to be back in the hobby and a part of this awesome community.
