is it safe to get back in the water:)

Is it safe to get back in the water?
I have been away from the hobby for about 10 years now.
From research thus far the basics haven’t changed but I have much to explore.
This forum has a great deal of content, and the moderators are watchful to assure civil posts.
(RC had numerous issues)
Just wanted to introduce myself and I will strive to avoid asking questions that have already been answered.
Happy holidays to you and happy reefing.
Dan

Welcome to R2R.

Alot has changed in 10 years. But basic husbandry is still the same. Mainly tech changes.

Back in the early 80s I began to keep SPS corals, and I was hooked.
In 2001 I decided to become involved with propagating corals in a captive environment on the wholesale level. As you can imagine, this required a long-term view.
A long story short ... this led to expansion. I became a wholesaler of corals, rock, and fish.
It is a challenging endeavor when done properly. To give you an idea of scale I had 4 X 8'x4'x15" coral flats.
12 x 180 gals also dedicated to coral. 8 x 30gal rock vats and a lot of tanks.
Being out of the biz for 10 years and wow have livestock prices changed!!
I hope to share some of some experiences as we go along.
Looking forward to communicating with you.
All the best for the holidays and prosperous 2024
Happy reefing
Dan
