Hey all.

After ~10-11 years or so, coming back to the hobby. Joined ARC in 2007.

I started a business when I stepped out the hobby and now have a 12 yr old daughter and finally at a stage where things are settled and I can enjoy some time. My employees are great, business booming and my daughter will really enjoy this hobby with me. I just feel like this is a perfect time to be back! Had my head down and hustling all these years

Going for a 40L NUVO Fusion PRO 2 AIO Aquarium with White APS Stand - Innovative Marine build. Arrives tomorrow!

All other equipment is here, to include Apex, ATO, Marco Rock, and SKY LED Aquarium Light - Neptune Systems. Tons more, honestly ordered every single thing I could think of and spared no expense.

Anyway, just wanted to check-in. Looking forward to picking up frags, trade or buy and supporting local sponsors, and generally just being back in the game and being back in the community.

Will be several months or so before I start even thinking about corals. Want to make sure my cycle goes perfect and will be religiously maintaining everything. Planning mixed reef with lots of color and personality.

Will update here and there with photos as and when possible. It will be a little while before I am setup and actively posting. Hello for now

Welcome back to the hobby! I hope your daughter enjoys. The bug skipped a generation with my kids, they could not be less interested!
 
Stand, Aquarium and Scape…

Making my RODI water now and have Arag-Alive ready.

Water perfect, MP10 running and test fitting Skye LED, which I switched off right away after confirming coverage was expected. Microbacter added to fuel cycle.

My daughter and I setup a 10 Gal JBJ Rimless in my office today. The IM 40 gallon is going great so far, too.

Added first corals yesterday. Great visit to Rit’s place and picked up a few nice zoa and torch/hammers. Can’t go wrong with neon candycane, too. Love the Hellfire Torch

This will be it for a while. SPS won’t be added for many months.

May add a some CUC and fish, slowly over the coming couple months or so.

Dang you are speeding along. Nice corals!
Thank you!!! Everything dialed in nicely and the ugly stage is minimal. Dosing MB7, which has worked out and PODS. My 10 Gallon JBJ is going through major uglies right now! No corals in that for now!
