I've been out of the hobby for a couple years, and I'm seriously considering jumping back into the hobby. So, now that I've settled down in OC for a couple years and my kids are getting a little older (as am I), the itch to get back into another reef tank is getting stronger. I got rid of my old leather couch, and I have a great spot in my living room for a large reef tank.
All of my previous tanks were run on a low budget, used equipment and limited space. For my next (maybe last) tank, I want to do it the right way from the start. There is a ton more information now, and it's a bit overload for me. For the past couple months, I've been just reading a lot on the various reefing forums, and filtering out what direction I should go. Also, I wanted to check out a lot of reefer's setups locally, but I've not done it because of COVID and I didn't want to intrude on other hobbyist's homes just to see their reef setup.
I think I have a good idea of what I want now, which is a 180g to 200g deeper tank, and I'm slowly planning on getting back into the hobby. Will update this post on my progress.
