I'm Mike, a mid-40s software developer, and I've been reefing for about 15 years. I've kept mostly SPS and LPS corals, a few fish, and a variety of inverts. My current tank is a 60 gallon cube, which replaced my original 75 gallon. It has some issues ranging from unwanted inhabitants to mechanical problems - and it's loud. I've learned a lot over the years, and have made a lot of mistakes. I have teenage offspring who have been taking an active role in tank care and maintenance, and have even scolded me for not having prevented some of the current issues the tank has. Anxiety is on the rise around here, and I know I've always found reefing therapeutic - though sometimes it feels like we're fighting an uphill battle with the current tank. Long story short, we are going to start a new tank - taking things slowly, and hopefully doing things right. I know some will disagree with this approach, but after thinking about it and discussing it for the past six months, we feel it's the right path for us. Thought it made sense to start fresh on a new reefing forum as well. Looking forward to learning more with all of you
