I used to have a 50g reef tank for 10 years but haven't had one in about 7 or 8 years.

I found someone giving away a 55g planted tank and a36g bowfront reef due to moving.

It was definitely worth picking up and will be a good intro back into the headaches of reef keeping. Maybe tackling horrible GHA from day one wasn't the smartest move i could have made but I'm patient and love a challenge!! I'll be adding a sand bed when i get the LR cleaned up a bit.

Slowly getting the rocks cleaned by scrubbing and 50% WC's every other day. Added aragonite. Nitrates are down to 30. They were off the chart when i first got this tank.

...patience wins the race!
