New to the Forum -- not to the hobby

Hello ppl.
I've been out of the hobby for about two years. Time, finances ( as in both being in short supply ) and a lost battle with aptasia dictated I put things on the back burner for a while.

I had a 30gal reef that was doing pretty well IMO...(link's here).... until those "fargin bastiches" aptasia showed up.
O well, that meant war.... I lost. Got so frustrated I gave away what corals survived, and bleach bombed ALL the rock. Saved it. Dried it out, and now I'm using it in an 18 gal nano that I started about a month ago. (pics soon).

My main reason for reefin' , other than the beauty of the animals, is that you get to build such neat stuff ! .....outta nuttin !

Well that's it for now...

(....now.... how'm i gonna get 410 watts over this tank without it turnin' 2 bouillabaise...... hmmmmmm )

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
