Hello all!

Just thought I'd introduce myself. Now that our family has settled and the kids are older, I'm slowly getting back into reefkeeping. My experience was with LPS and SPS in the early 1990s through 2005. I was fortunate at that time to be in the Houston area with Eric Borneman and others. If any of you older folks are here, I was known on ReefCentral as "bigben". However, I didn't post much then because I couldn't afford a digital camera (that was the thing then) as a graduate student :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:Anyways, looking forward to learning and sharing experiences with you all!

Curious what kind of tank/lighting you are going with?

That is one of the first decisions to make. It seems that much has changed since the days of overdriven halides and VHOs! It appears that LED has taken over and there are MANY manufacturers. Whoever has the best spectrum, PAR, most quiet/effective fans, easiest upgrade, and most well supported warranty: they will be my choice (if they exist) :face-with-tears-of-joy:
