Its been a while, did not realize that it been more than 10 years, a long journey out of the hobby. I had some issue with the tank, seeing all my corals died one after the other and it was really hard to accept it. Thought it was my calcium reactor or kalkwasser reactor since my alk and Ca was so low.. to find out later when it was too late that I had a bad batch of salt.

It was a devastating decision, but decided to sell my livestock and took a break. I kept the tank and my equipment. Lately, I have been slowly getting back in remaking the tank. Most of my equipment is old but most of them still work.

Always had problem with the first gen of vortech. They would not hold on my 3/4 glass and finally stopped working. Replace them with the maxspect gyre 280 and love them.

Still using my Sifligoi MH with 20k radium and I love the look of it. Looking to replace them eventually with some LED.

Its good to be back and to learn from all of you!
