Hello all...this is my "meet and greet" post. Just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and introduce myself. I had gotten into the reefing hobby about six or seven years ago and after losing my job in 2014, I abruptly took myself out of it since it is not an easy pastime to do while on a budget. Since then, my husband has started his own business and it has been going pretty well. He owns a plumbing business, and we were hoping to maybe display some reef tanks with sumps that he set up, but that is down the road a bit. So, needless to say, finances did not sway me when I had an opportunity to rescue a 30-gallon Biocube with live rock, a few pally corals, green star polyps and a clownfish that had somehow survived six years of neglect. I'll add a link later to the tank's thread after I post it (hopefully in a couple days) with before an after photos. I've had the tank since February, and it has come a long way since then. I really enjoy everyone's posts and comments in this forum, and I look forward to the conversations ahead!

Welcome to R2R!! Would love ‘before’ pics from when the tank was being abused then watch as it gets nicer and nicer! I love rescuing fish and corals from bad situations like that, watching them get happier always makes me feel like a good fish mom!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I am amazed at the difference between the amount of satisfaction I get from rescuing a near-dead tank compared to doing a fresh build. Both are nice, but there is just something about resurrecting what was once dead. Before and after pics to come...
