Hello everyone! I am justttt getting back into the hobby after a few years. I had a 60g FOWLR tank back in 2014 and then had to tear it down when I moved away for college. Well I am finally back and just started a 32g Biocube in my apartment about a month ago. I plan on doing a full reef, but for now just have a few softie frags to make sure all is well and stable. I have a couple aqua-cultured clowns coming in a few days as well from another hobbyist. My tank is just now going through a ~mild~ ugly phase, but I am excited with how it is shaping up. A lot has changed in the hobby since I was last year and I am still catching up on the latest, but it is great to be here and I am excited to join the community.
Here's a FTS as of today. Definitely getting there but waiting for these stupid diatoms to subside. It's hard to tell from the picture, but theres quite a few more uglies going on than the camera picks up lol.
Nice to meet you all!!! Will probably be hearing a lot more from me around the forums as my tank continues to get spun up.
Welcome! Glad you joined.
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state.

Welcome to R2R and welcome back to reefing !
Thankfully, the ugly phase will pass. So embrace the journey, do some research, fill out your plan, and take in the wisdom here.
Best wishes in 2022,
