Getting back into the hobby

crazydays · Aug 9, 2022

Hello All,
I have been out of the hobby for over a year after selling my 500 gallon reef and my old house. My new house is done and now time to build up my new tank. I have ordered my new tank from Custom Aquatics, came damaged now being rebuilt. The price of everything is so inflated. I sold my 12'' Blond Naso with streamers and 8'' Purple tang for $250 each, when i broke my tank down, now hard to get for reasonable prices. Still i cant wait to start the water flowing again.
Tank 72X36X24H
IceCap 36XL sump
3600 return pump (cant remember brand)
61 aqualight with 3 Radion 15XR PRO
2 MP40's
build rockwork now

Welcome Back! Glad you joined. Your passion shines thru and can tell you are excited to be building out new tank in new home - WAHOO!!!

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

This might help you find people local to you in South Carolina:
