Hi!
I had a lovely reef aquarium back in the early 90's and have decided to take up the hobby again. Boy, have things changed. I currently have a Waterbox Cube 20 that's been running for about 4 months. All the parameters are great, just currently dealing with what I thought was a cyano outbreak but now I'm thinking maybe it's dinoflagellates? After many water changes and a blackout and a chemiclean without success, I've now decided to slowly crank the temperature up to 82 to see if that helps. I'll keep up the water changes and testing and using Dr Tim's Waste Away too, and hope.
I'm also moving in a couple of months into a house that needs work first, so I'm thinking of getting a larger tank for the new house -- I think 36" long is my limit, and was eyeing the Waterbox MarineX 90 but they'll sold out. So now considering either the Waterbox Reef 100 or the Red Sea Reefer XL 300 or Reefer 250, but would love to hear some opinions or other options if anyone has any advice?
Thanks!

Welcome to the R2R community and happy reefing!!

Cool, what part of LA are you in? I'm in the SFV, NoHo/Burbank area more precisely.

Hi!
I’m currently in Silverlake but moving to Atwater Village in a couple months. Not a big move — an 8 minute drive. But I’ve gone to Mark’s Tropical Fish a lot which is up by you.
welcome!
