First off saying reefer and giggling must age me a little. Lol.

I kept freshwater/cichlids for years and switched to a FOWLR tank about 3 years ago. Decided to set up a 40 breeder as my first reef tank and go all out about a year ago. Pretty basic setup, tank, sump, HOB overflow (yuck), skimmer, light, reactor, powerheads, etc. So far only have 2 corals, seeing how that goes before going all gang busters but so far so good.

I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
