Just FOWLR for now.

Welcome back to the hobby @EmilyXLC how long have you been away from the salty side?

It’s been about 4 years since I sold everything.

None of us stay away for long... My wallet wishes I could. Four years is a big break, but not a ton has changed in that time. It's not like you missed the transition to LEDs, heck most of the products are still the same -just maybe the new gen of the same thing.

Welcome back yo!

Welcome back yo!

Thanks, love! If much hasn’t changed, I just have to rely on my memory, so either way, we are in trouble!

Good luck with your new setup. Stick to the facts and you will do fine. Make BRStv a reliable source for information. We all pretty much enjoy their videos and do our own takes with what they give us.

Hi EmilyXLC! Im herein huntsville, too. Which LFS did you visit? The guys at Aquatic Cove are very helpful, particularly with the fish, but id avoids their corals... they dont seem to last long in their frag tanks.

There are no dumb questions.
Welcome!

It was Aquatic Cove. I have only dabbled in corals once, so sadly I don’t know what to look for as much as everyone else does. Their livestock & setup was lovely, though!

I know there’s a fish store near the Parkway but when I went there a few years ago (pre-Aquatic Cove) I was sorely disappointed. Are there any other shops I’m missing? I was a long term John Newby’s client but his shop has been gone for like 6 years now.

Welcome back. Once salt is in your blood it never leaves. Just a matter of time when you come back.

Welcome! (back)

Welcome back! Breaks can be good. It can get you excited again if the magic went out of it and it can help give perspective. Hope you have a blast.

Welcome back Emily...hope you will attend this months club meeting @Monkeynaut's place. I'm 50/50 to make it but my wifes birthday is Sunday so not sure we will be up there. Since you know where Aquatic Cove is located, the meeting is in the houses behind it. Look forward to meeting you next month.

There is suppose to be a great store in Nashville called Aquatic Critter. Haven't been there but plan to one day when I start stocking the tank. Not that far a drive for us for the right pet.
