Restarting hobby after 25+ year hiatus.

Hey reefers! Aside from Betta's in a 10g tank, I have been out of the hobby for a loooong time. Had a 90g FO and a 29f Reef back in the 80s and 90s. Boy, have things changed. Crazy amounts of new tech out there.

So, I am feeling too old/out of shape to go scuba diving, I am going to put up a 100 +/- g tank in my living room. Hoping to find a nice WB or similar used but since I prefer a peninsula, I may be looking a long time. Might have to break down and go new.

Read somewhere you shouldn't start expensive hobbies in retirement, but you only live once!

Hoping to start a build thread on my new FOWLR on it's way to reef tank soon.

Hello! I too have just started back after a 30 year hiatus. I however went small with the Hello Reef Clownfish/Anemone 15g AIO tank. You’re so right about all the new technology and methods. In the past I used a homemade sump, homemade skimmer and live rock and live sand. Cycle? Never did it…lol. I’ll be stocking my tank after this cycle is done!
