Hello from New Jersey!

Hi All,

Long time lurker here, even longer time reefer. Started in the hobby 20+ years ago with a 60gal, took a small hiatus and now have had a stable 29gal Biocube running for a little over 10 years. Ill get around to post a build thread but fairly simple setup - swapped the stock filtration for InTank Media Basket / Refuge. Swapped stock pump with a Sicce Syncra, run a UV sterilizer, and swapped stock lighting with NanoBox Retrofit / Bluefish controller. Have a single Koralia wave pump for some extra circulation. The tank's a beast - been through two moves, a whole house renovation, and still going strong.

Starting to plan out a bigger build, but that's in its infancy and I'm sure ill be poking my head around here and there for advice.

What actually got me to join the community is the NanoBox lighting - I see a few members here are making replacement boards. After years of great success, I'm having some issues with mine and will look to reach out. Awesome to see people keeping them alive.

Nice to meet you all!
