I’m ready for the comeback! I’ve been away from reefing since 2008. I started many years ago with a 75, then a 110, to a 200, down to a successful 180 AGA.
I have met a few of you during a couple of the meetings I was able to attend and some of you through these threads; Thanks for making me feel welcome! I hope to meet more of you in the near future.
I’m married to my wonderful and over understanding wife, Yeri; we have twin boys eight years old that keep us busy most of the time. We moved from Park Ridge, IL in 2008 and we are really happy here.
I’m really pumped but at the same time I think to myself; WHY am I getting into this again?
It all begins.. . I purchased a used 400G Custom Oceanic from the good Dr. here in Coppell that some of you know. Getting the tank out of his office was not easy, we had to take 3 doors with frames out and brute force of six people to move this beast, but at the end it was all worth it.
Since then I’ve been working on the tank during my spare time, cleaning the tank, sanding, staining and sealing the stand, etc.
Here is the tank before the move, it’s 72X36X36
