Getting back into the hobby.

[Pjdub22]

Hi

I've signed up to the forum as I'm doing a lot of reading and watching of videos to catch up on the last 25 years of developments since I last had a marine tank.

I'm taking things real slow. Relearning the basics using modern and sustainable techniques is a priority. I'm also interested in culturing algae and raising live foods for raising and feeding livestock.

I'm renovating an outbuilding to house the setup so it's going to take me a while to get it going.
Thanks to everyone for all the useful posts and hopefully I'll have some interesting contributions to make in the future

That's it

Hi PJ and Welcome! Glad you returned and joined.

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). There is no such thing as too early - you can even put your outbuilding build in it!

This might help you find people local to you in Tipperary:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...
