Hello All

I just thought I would step up and say HI!
I kept a 150 gallon reef setup for a few years and then I moved and my new house would not support the electrical or weight loads required to run the tanks so I have been out of the game for about 9 months. I just bought a new Oceanic 30 gallon cube and am in the planning stages of a newer much smaller system. I will most liklet run my 40 gallon sump/refugium/skimmer pool in the basement and the 30 upstairs as a show tank.
Man, planning for this small of a space is a real challange to shrink my thinking.
I am kind of a DIY kind of guy.
Here are some shots of my old system
