Hi guys!

After 3 years I am back in the hobby! Used to run a 120 gallons reeftank with SPS, LPS, softies and BTA’s. But was not able to find the motivation to restart after moving houses.

Recently decided to get back into the hobby as the passion never went away. I bought myself a 30 gallon basic setup with sponge, skimmer and some live rock/bali sand. Added an extra powerhead for flow.

Currently on day 10 of the cycle and parameters looking good so far Can’t wait to enjoy a small piece of the ocean (probably sticking to FOWLR with possibly a couple of low maintenance softies due to my job as an airline pilot)

Planned stock:

1x Occelaris
1x Flameback dwarf angel
1x Yellow Clown goby
1x royal gramma
1x Cleaner shrimp

You are off to a good start with your tank!

Welcome. I am kind of in the same boat as you. I had a tank (albeit much smaller) and bought a house, then sandy happened, and then I didn't have the motivation to start over. I also didnt have a good spot in my home (at the time) to set up a reef. Now 15 years later that my basement is finished, I have it down there and is good to go. 65gallon (or 69 as Nyos claimes but I dont buy that)

Glad we can both enjoy the hobby again! I wonder how many tangs I will have to cross in reef stores before I will start to consider a big upgrade again
