Morning everyone,
I’m jumping back into the hobby after a 25 year hiatus and wow, have things changed.
I started keeping saltwater fish in the 80s, yeah, I’m old, but got out of the hobby after my ex-wife pulled the plugs on all of my tanks during a nasty divorce. I was more devastated over the fish tanks than I was about the divorce , dang, I loved those fish! Anyway, the bad times are behind me so it’s time to start over again.
I’ve been lurking this forum for a few months, gathering as much information as I can, and finally joined a few weeks ago.
Since I’m frugal, my wife says “cheap”, the first thing I did was browse the marketplace where I found and bought a Red Sea Max 250 setup and an Apex Classic. I’m still in the cleaning process but I should have the tank on the stand in the next couple of days.
I’m hoping to find an RODI unit locally at one of the LFS around me so I can begin making water to cook the rock and the saltwater for the tank.
Since so much has changed in the last 2 1/2 decades I’m sure to have a lot of questions so please, bear with me. I’ll try and research them first before asking but I’ve noticed many conflicting answers in the research that I’ve already done. It can get confusing for a newbie and mistakes in this hobby can be very expensive.
Thanks for listening.
