I'm Sarah, new to the forum, but not the hobby. I have a 50x36x24" tank that I'm filling with sps and mostly butterflyfish. I've had a reef of various sizes set up for nearly 15 years and plenty of ebbs and flows to go with it.

Welcome Sarah to R2R and your new reefing family. I think it would be appropriate for you to "flow" some picture here so we can see what you have going on!

Here's the tour - photography isn't my forte, so bear with me.

Here we are now. Over the past couple years I've had two compromising silicone defects on display tanks, severe dinos in the temporary tank which killed most of the sps and then a palytoxin episode from stressed zoas. I beat the dinos with peroxide and the palytoxin with carbon, polyfilters and massive water changes. Lately things have calmed down and I've been acquiring new frags and more fish and watching them grow.

Quarantines, nothing in the upper yet, I'll add some live rock that has been fallow for a really long time to eradicate parasites, even crypto. I don't like a totally sterile qt.
