Greetings all. I have had salt water tanks since 1982 in various shapes and sizes, mostly fish and inverts but dove into corals many years ago for a short time with little success. Over the years I have been more active at times and less active at times. In the 1980's, I lived in south Florida and used to scuba dive and collected fish and inverts for my tank. A year ago, we installed new flooring so I tore down my 25g tank and replaced it with a 29g tank and a new stand. Since then, I've gotten more serious and have been trying to get up-to-date with the newest trends and technology. Until last year I ran an Eheim cannister for many years, but when I set up the tank with a new stand, there wasn't enough clearance under the tank and one of the return lines blew so I switched to a Penguin 375 which has done a fine job. I've been working on reducing long-time high nitrates and making upgrades to eventually get back into corals and more inverts but have a choc chip star and a very aggressive tomato clown (15 yrs old) that preclude me from doing that for a while. For years the clown has kept me from adding much of anything. I may soon take donate him to a LFS that has an orphan room. I recently added another higher powered LED strip light, chaeto, and have a skimmer to install and researching DIY refugiums in order to move the chaeto into it before the tomato clown tears it up completely.
Welcome! Glad you joined. You have a lot of experience and will fit right in here. Nice tank
