I'm back from a long 2 year hiatus!

ameares8 · Mar 27, 2013

Hey guys, ameares8 (Anthony) here. I haven't been in the reef community for almost 2 years now and am glad to say that I am fully getting back into the hobby. I haven't really seen who is still in the club since the move away from Reef Central and that whole fiasco, but hopefully several familiar names/faces will pop up. Looks like I am just in time for the frag swap too!

If anyone bought frags from me back in 2010/2011 (those were the good frags), I would be interested in buying a frag back from you to get my new tank started back up. If you don't want to sell any of those frags, I would still like to know how those frags are doing.

I am getting all of my equipment for the new tank probably next week, so I will start a build thread pretty soon. I'm looking forward to seeing some old faces and meeting some new ones!

Anthony, I remember you selling off some of your equipment as I joined the club. Welcome back to the addiction!

What size tank are you planning?

ameares8 · Mar 28, 2013

Thanks for the welcome back everyone! I won't be going back with a 160 like I had...yet. My wife and parents decided to buy me a small tank for my birthday last week, so that gave me the push to jump back in. The only problem is that its a 36 gallon bow front that isn't reef ready. I am debating swapping the tank out or just going with external overflows. I would rather have a RR. I have had both in the past and am aware of the issues that can arise. Other side to that argument is that if I set my Apex up right, it shouldn't overflow.

drill the back and get a glass-holes overflow

ameares8 · Mar 28, 2013

Didn't think about drilling the back. Might have to find someone who is confident in drilling glass, because I know that I will shatter it in a second.
