Return to reef keeping

[VikingReefer]

Hello all,
I took roughly a 10 year break from reef keeping and am finally in a financial place in life where I can have the tank I've always wanted. Recently moved to Moreno valley from San Diego to be closer to work and found this forum.

Thanks! I bought the new red sea 750, it will be mostly SPS but there will be some euphyllia corals in there, I love them and can't stay away from them ? currently I just have a few fish in the tank and 1 small Holy Grail hammer.

Welcome to the dark side

I’m located in Perris off Ramona expressway and I’m a total stickhead also. If interested I’m always into trading

Welcome back. I came back last year as well after 10-11 years out of the hobby. I’m also in Moreno Valley.

Welcome, I moved up here from San Diego a little while back as well. Were you on SDreefs?

I took about a 7 year break when my kids were small.


I quickly relapsed into full addiction once I started again.

Yes I was, not super active but I still have the old school sticker on the back of my truck, the one shaped like a fish

I’m still running a euroreef skimmer and halides… the old stuff still works.

I would recommend against halides unless you are DEDICATED to halides. There are much more affordable LED options available and the really nice halide ballasts are hard to come by.

Currently running 4 ecotech XR15's and a pretty beefy reef octopus skimmer, stuff has definitely changed a lot of really cool new things !
