Back after 7 years.

NanoReefLovers · 03/19/2019, 03:00 PM

I am back in the hobby after 7 years away. It’s good to be back. Starting with a BioCube 32. I have upgraded the stock lights with Steve’s LEDs. The tank is up and running for a while now. Starting to get reacquainted with the LFS I used to frequent and leaning the new one that have opened in the last 7 years.

Bio Cube 32
Steve’s LED retro kit
tunze 9001 skimmer
Icecap K1

Opens to suggestions on other needed equipment as I am sure there have been an upgrade or two over the years.
Thanks.
Bob & Brenda.

Good luck and welcome back. Really nothing has changed much equipment wise.... Just lighting.

But you need flow, filtration and lighting which it looks like you got it all!

Post pics if you can.

Get some decent flow and you are ready to go.

I used to have what I called a giant nano tank. It was a 220g reef with nothing but nano fish and corals. I built almost everything myself including a 150g sump.

I cannot remember my screen name from then but maybe the tank description may help.

I have a lot of flow going, I just turned it down as it was blowing the sand all over the place. I am not sure I can turn it up much more.
