Looking at getting back into the hobby

So I used to have a beautiful 190 gallon reef system back in the day. Sold it off back in 2011. I was very active on FRAG back when it used to be on RC. Recently logged back on and found my way over here.

I've been watching my friends 32 Biocube while they have been on vacation. Oh no I'm starting to get that itch again.

I found a few old photos that survived on RC over the years. Brought back such great memories of my old tank. Too bad most of the photos have disappeared.

Original tank a few months after getting it up an running and doing a re-aquascape with my live rock (hence the cloudy water). Wish I could find a photo of my mature tank.

I have a 45 cube and stand $25. Just needs a good cleaning.

Does it have an over flow? Any photos?

No overflow, but one can be added. I upgraded the 45 to a 60 and drilled the glass. I used a Fiji cube overflow kit, really nice overflow. I believe it's a marine land tank. I'll have to get some pictures of it. It does need to be cleaned.

I’ll take it.

Slowly making progress on things. Here is my build thread:

Cube Build - Mike89t's 45gal Cube Build

So back in the day I had a 190 reef system that I eventually sold off back in 2011. With two small kids at the time it just became too much to handle. Fast forward a decade and I baby sat my friends Biocube over the holiday weekend while they were on Vacation. Ooops I did it again. Caught...
