Alright, giving this another go!
Started the hobby back around 2004/05 when LEDs were still being developed. Went to college and put the hobby on a pause.
Fast forward to 2016, after college, and got the itch again and attended my first BAR swap at Chabot college. Through the years, many ups and downs, but more recently with a recent house purchase and wedding, the hobby was on the back burner.
Tank was surviving, but not thriving… lost a lot of corals.
Now that life has settled down a bit, I’m jumping back into the hobby.
Finally got my water parameters in check after multiple water changes. (high nitrates, high phosphates, low alk and low Ca).
Took advantage of AC’s Columbus Day sale and picked up some chalices and an acan to test the tank.
Equipment:
- im25 lagoon
- Kessil A360x tuna blue
- Apex classic
- Tunze 5017 ATO
Livestock:
- Pair of blue clowns
- yellow watchman goby
- royal gramma
- rainbow RBTA
- Sunkist bounce
- bleached OG bounce
- struggling jawbreaker
Some photos of my old tank (BC29):

Present day
New corals:
Unsure of names, but space invader chalice on far right.
Hoping to have the tank in tip top shape and get a few corals to be able attend the BAR swap in November.
Feels good to be back and looking to meet new and familiar faces.
