Scared! Yikes!

[Salty Lemon]

Hello there,
Back story....a thousand years ago I was a weekend manager at fish distributor in Minnesota. I had a 75 gallon reef tank and it was beautiful. Then suddenly, there were kids and mortgages and my saltwater hobby died. Fast forward twenty years and I'm getting into the hobby again, only to find out that things have changed. I started with a 60 gallon and six months later (last weekend) I bought a 210 gallon. It is being delivered this week. While I know the basics, I'm still a newbie with some knowledge. I want this to work and a year from now I don't want to kill thousands of dollars worth of life in my tank. I need people. This is where you come in. I'm ready to commit -- I just need more knowledge. I live in Arizona and I need people who are in the hobby.
Thanks, Tonya.

Welcome to R2R and good luck with the new tank. Sounds like a build thread is in order.

Welcome to R2R! I returned after a long break as well. What used to work still works, but there are some great new gadgets out there as well. I am using LED lights after using Metal Halide before. Seems to be working very well. My gyre pump is a welcome addition. An auto top off (ATO) and dosing pumps just make life easy.
