I have gotten enough reminders and messages to introduce myself from admins so here it goes so I stop receiving them lol

I’ve been in the hobby for quite sometime but took a break after a tank failure that leaked over 160g all over my floors and killed all fish and corals overnight so I took a long break!

Fast forward 8 years and my new tank is set up and installation is finishing tomorrow to start the cycle. To say I’m excited is an understatement! I can’t wait to have this tank up and running <3

Here are some photos and how I’m planning on setting it up. Looking forward to sharing this journey here and meeting other reefers in the process :)

My sink drain leaked and I had to move my tank so they can replace the new floor again. Glad you are getting back into the hobby again.

Do you use Scripps Water?

Sorry to hear about your leak :( No I’m not using Scripps water….I’ve used it when I had my last tank but I’ve heard that due to algae blooms the Scripps water was causing red algae issues in some local tanks so this time around I’m just mixing my own salt.
