Hello, trying to revive a reef on a budget. (very knowledgeable)

[EllensburgReefFamily]

29g 15yr cycled w/25lb rock.
Had 12 year old clown fish. Now no fish. Have some starfish that's it.
Now I am on a budget and need advice...
What thread is good for that?
Do you think someone would help me re-populate my reef locally? i.e. sell/trade stuff they dont want?
Maybe add onto their order.
Im a former reef lover and want to get back into it $ minimally.
Maybe LED TR-Clowns and damsels with no water changes.
Have all the equiptment- RO machiine, water testing kits,etc.

Welcome aboard, EllensburgReefFamily!

My suggestion would be to see if there's a group of local reefers near you. Join the reef club in your area, get to know people. When local folks have a coral that's gotten too big, they'll turn to their local reef club's members for rehoming frags. Same for equipment.

See if there's a frag swap or similar event nearby that you can attend. Those are awesome places to score bargains!f
