Hello! Not new to the hobby. I’ve had several tanks with my last 75 gallon set up being taken down before a move 9 years ago. I kept a 6+ year old 5 gallon pico for a short while in my office but was lost in an accident shortly after moving. I’ve been reefless since.

I’ve been wanting to start a new tank, but just haven’t found the time and my 16 year old son came to me yesterday and said he’d really like to start a reef tank. Didn’t have to tell me twice. We jumped online and ordered a reefer max 250 G2+. I can’t help but feel like I cheated somehow. Half the fun is picking out all of your equipment for your setup. Anyhow, I’m excited to start a new reef with my son. I hope I don’t regret getting this system. Can’t wait to post some pics once we get it going.
Welcome and I know the feeling. Out since about 2011/2012. My daughter is only 4 though, so we got back into Aquariums in general in November when she asked for a beta.

But working on getting into the reef side.

Welcome back! You are going to love all the new gadgets and choices to fill up your reef tank.
Thanks! I see a lot has changed. More ways to monitor and automate as well as some shifts in thinking. Really nice setups in here with some different methods. Love it.
