teajay33 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 6 or so years ago, I left the reef world and vowed to never return. My wallet was happy. But my soul was empty. So here I am again, like a crack head who's been off the rock too long. Luckily I had everything minus live rock and sand to get started again.. 12g NanoCube 1 Powerhead. 2 LED strips.. Have no idea what one is, but the other is a Panorama. upgraded to Kessil 160WE 6-8 lbs of dry rock 3 lbs of live rock 10-15 lbs of live sand July 18th, 2015 June 21, 2015 Day 1 (May 18, 2015) Link to comment

Wander Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Welcome back to the hobby. What caused you to leave years ago, and what are you hoping to improve/do differently in anything on this go around? Link to comment

teajay33 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Welcome back to the hobby. What caused you to leave years ago, and what are you hoping to improve/do differently in anything on this go around? My 75g crashed. Lost more corals than I want to think about. I guesstimate around 7-10k. Lost my 2 clowns I raised from fry. Just gave it up. It's kinda unclear what caused it, but best guesses were that when I changed my metal halides out (bulbs) that I bleached some corals and they did some chemical warfare destroying the whole place. Luckily now we have LEDs so the light changes won't be near as frequent and from my understanding no where close to as drastic. Link to comment
Wander Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Let us know how you like the LED coming from experience with MH. The forum is loaded with fanboy reviews. Always good to see real photo results. Good luck with the new set up. Link to comment

ReeferBoo Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I left the reef world and vowed to never return. My wallet was happy. But my soul was empty. LOL I love that statement. Pretty much sums up my year away from the hobby. Your tank is looking good. RDE's were also my very 1st corals when I got back into the hobby. Link to comment
teajay33 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Forgive me for not knowing the current lingo.. What's RDE? And thanks:) Link to comment

teajay33 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Not much change, however I do have my first fish. Side shot Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Nice! I really like the scape and those sweet neon Zoas! I had my nanocube for 2 years until I just upgraded to a JBJ RL-45- the nanocube is a great tank! Only advice is to just buy a freakingg top off. The nanocube has insane evaporation, especially with a cooling fan. Invest the $100 and never top off again! Link to comment
teajay33 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Thanks:) I have a glass top on mine. I only top off about 1g every 2 weeks. Link to comment
teajay33 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 It's good to be back:) didn't know how much I missed this hobby. Link to comment
