Back with a vengeance - 800G NetZero Reef

FRAG SWAP VENDOR
So, after 5 years of hiatus from the hobby, I’m finally excited to be back into the midst of it all with a vengeance. The hobby has changed a lot, from equipment to livestock to methodology. A lot of changes in the club too,

‘Happy to be back :)

Wow! Welcome back. If you’re going to do it go big! I took a little longer break and I feel the same way. Things are so different! I want to say the biggest is no quality live rock! And the equipment is much different too.

They did, both the tank and the frag tank. Real professional setup and built like a tank.
Awesome! They build a hell of a tank. Can be a little on the expensive side but the finished product speaks for itself. Best of luck with it!
