    2 yrs ago I sold my 240 gal complete set up. Our new house doesn't have the wall needed for it. Now I'm getting a cube tank and going reef. Excited to be in the hobby again.

    I will be looking for equipment, gonna need everything for a 60 gal reef.

    Anyways, looking forward to being involved.

    Welcome back! There's always so much fun during the procurement stage of all the equipment needed for a new tank.

    At least you wont be blindsided by the addiction and cost of this hobby. I had been warned last year but thought how bad could it be?

    Ha. Someone said to get a true feel for the expense fill your tank with $5 bills, poor some gas on it and light it on fire

    I'm the newbie, see my intro post from yesterday. I'll be moving to Des Moines soon, and bringing my tank with me. But I'm not going to try to bring the fish or corals. If you want any of those I'm happy to send them to you for free; you'd just have to pay for the packing and overnight shipping. I've got a nice wild caught true perc clown fish that is the surviving male from a mated pair (female died a few months ago). I also have some blue damsels, a royal gramma, yellow tang, and a striped cardinal fish. Coral-wise, I have some short tentacled plates and a bubble coral. Everything else is attached to rock, but those are free standing. PM me if you are interested in any of that :)
