Hello From the Windy City

Rik · Aug 3, 2018

Hello all! My name is Rik.

After a bit of slow move back into the hobby, I'm moving forward with a reef build here in my new place.
Moved back to Chicago due to a transfer for work a bit over 2 years ago. I had a nice tank back in Minneapolis which was about 5 years mature and great. Because of the move and some sudden health issues, I parted out the tank and sold all my beloved livestock

.
About 8 months ago, got the itch back and started up a small 20 gallon nano. It brought back all the great things about this hobby and something I realized I missed more than I thought.
After getting some great news on my health, I feel comfortable diving in a bit more!
Over the next few weeks I'll be transferring my livestock to a new IM Nuvo EXT 30 Lagoon.
Looking forward to sharing the and getting any feedback you all can give.

Hi, I'm from Chicago. Grew up across the street from Independence Park by Irving Pk. & Pulaski. Welcome home! We live in Burlington, WA which is basically the country if you come from Chicago. Good luck on transferring everyone to their new home.
