Hello from Alabama

[jpgraft]

Hi Everyone,

I'm back into the hobby after many years. I 'found' a tank...yes, long story...and it's going to take some work to get it up to speed. I posted the long version in 'Member's Tanks' so I'm not going to bore anyone with it here!

It's been about 13 or so years since I've had a tank. With all of the new technology & products out I feel like a rookie again. So please be patient & share your wisdom!

Thanks for having me here!

Welcome to R2R.

Old school is still successful, do not get too overwhelmed by all the new lighting, dosing and filtration changes.

Water, flow, lighting. All the other stuff can wait.

Welcome to R2R. I also was out of the hobby for 20 years and started back first of this year. It is very overwhelming. As some have said, take it in small bites and stay at it. Look for a local club near you that will help with your set up. My local club has been really helpful with my lack of knowledge. As always, slow is better with reefing.

Thank you! I live on the beach & the closest large cities are nearly an hour away (Mobile AL, Pensacola FL)
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell there aren't any local clubs. Go figure! Thought there would be several since my house is 1/4 mile from the Gulf of Mexico!
