    Hey everyone!

    Just getting back into the hobby after a 7 year hiatus. I previously had a fish only tank, however this time around I've decided to go with a few small fish, and mainly corals.

    I've just started up in the recent week a 37 gallon tank with the follow gear:

    Pro Clear Aquatics Wet/Dry w/ a Aqua Clear return pump
    Pro Clear Aquatics in sump protein skimmer
    40 lbs of live sand
    4 lbs of live rock (just to help cycle, I'll add much more later)

    I've got plans to get a 30" T5 fixture with 4 bulbs.

    Thanks!

    David

    Welcome to 3 reef , David

    sounds like your nearly ready to jump back into the hobby

    get a thread up in the show of your fish tank section
    1st post with images of what you have now, and then take it from there
    great way to record your progress IMO

    Yeah, I've been learning that lately! Reefs look much better though as you said, and I get to "grow" things in my mini ocean in the living room. I also just found out that a aquaculture frag guy is REALLY close to me so no paying super expensive shipping!! I'm thinking I'm going to start with zoas.
