    Just wanted to introduce myself to the community.

    Experience.

    Mantained a 29 Gallon Mostly Liverock some fish and 2 corals for about 2 years. Tank was put to rest after I got married due to not having space nor money to continue.

    Currently
    After a 3 year lay off I got back into the game with a 110 gallon Tank.
    Which is about 3-4 weeks old.
    40lbs of Live Sand(Need another 60lbs)
    30lbs of Dead Live Rock which I am using from my old tank.(need another 120lbs)
    30 blue legged hermit
    30 Astrea Snails.
    Wet/dry
    Protein Skimmer will be here in a week.
    Standard Lighting, Getting new lights for Christmas still undecided but I know it will include moon lighting.
    Plan to be mostly FOWLR maybe a few easy corals from frags

    The main part of this hobby that I enjoy is watching a natural ecosystem grow and flourish. I really enjoy seeing the Marine life revolve around the live rock and sand.

    Welcome and with the live sand you now have you would be better off using just some type of aragonite like caribsea, why waste the money and start another cycle just my opinion and what is in the sand will expand and grow if it is supposed to . But most will die off over time anyways .. But also with the L/R and sand many times you can get more in it then you bargained for again in my opinion.. And have crittters you really would notwant to see flourish. IMO. :)
