Hello all,

I just did my first 14 hour live sale and decide to join R2R forum to say that I had fun. I spent way to much money, got some awesome corals, and looking for the next venue to clean out my wallet.

I have a lifetime of reef and fish husbandry, over 35 years in the hobby. I've had tanks up to 300g that took up a lot of my time and money. I was humbled 20 years ago with a major lost of a prized reef tank that damaged my home and a total lost of all my most prized pieces. Imagine 55 gallons of saltwater on a carpeted floor and over 10k in dead coral. I left the hobby with nickel on the dollar sale of all my tanks and equipment. I thought I wouldn't own more than a beta tank again.

Today I am sporting a Biocube 29. I am humbled and looking to learn. So much has changed for the better and we are all the better off for it. Hello to all and thank you for accepting me into the fold.
 
Welcome to R2R.;)
 
Welcome!! Glad to have you and welcome back to the hobby! I know the feeling of having a tank come crashing down on your floor, but I definitely don't know the feeling of a 10k coral loss :/ It is good to get back on that horse :) Make sure to start a tank thread for us to follow along.
 
Welcome home, you'll love it here!

This hobby isn't a drug you can quit forever! :D
 
welcome to reef2reef. I am sorry to hear about that horrible loss but glad to see your jumping back on the horse so to speak.
 
Welcome, its great to have you
 
Awesome welcome from everyone , thank you! I did start a tank thread for all to see and enjoy. Looking forward to learning and helping when I can.
