Good morning. I have been out of the hobby for about 8 years and have been thinking about getting back in for the past year and a half. We moved to a new house this past Spring so now is the time. I originally started with a tall 40 gallon tank, then upgraded to a 90. I was waiting for Black Friday deals to buy the setup that I will be going with this time. I will be going BIG with a Red Sea Reefer-S 1000 seven foot tank. I have used the information on this forum to help in making my decisions on all the gear that I got. Hopefully, I will have the tank set up by the end of the year. Looking forward to getting a lot more knowledge and tips from the Reef2Reef community, and learning from my last two tanks. Thanks to everyone in advance!

Hi James and Welcome!

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)

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

Hi,

One of the things that I have found most helpful in this hobby are the build threads. So yes, I am planning to start one. I was planning to wait until my tank arrived and I got it unboxed and set up on the stand so that I have some decent pictures to start the thread with. Hopefully the tank will be coming in about two or three weeks.

Thanks for the suggestion!
