Getting back into the reef hobby

T

Tropicalresource

Hello all..

I used to be heavy into the reef hobby in the late 90's early 2k. I have owned numerous large succesful reef systems.
Being out of the hobby ..i know the technology changes rapidly..im sure i would be considered "ol school"
Im looking to get a feel for the recent technology and equipment. In the past my sucess i was useing live rock -live sand systems with big sumps. For equipment i used MTc skimmers- built my own surge tanks and lighting.
Any info for a custom tank builder in Central Nj.. and new technology would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Keith Buongiorno

Welcome back!

There is more stuff to chose from and a few new methods to try but the old stuff still works! I still use sand and VHO lighting.

There's some old guy around here that has a 35+ year old tank with undergravel filters.

The forum that Hurtback posted a link to will soon have an article posted by JCurry about the various styles of aquariums kept today.

Hear that Jeff! Someone is waiting for your post! ;D

Hope to see you at the club meetings and MACNA. :)
