Been in the hobby about 5 years off and on and life happened. ( kinda nervous even posting this ) . The last running tank I had was in 2013 (BIG FAIL). I feel like a NOOB all over again. It's insane how much the hobby changed and what I have forgotten. Youtube, forums, Facebook, and Instagram researching all over again.. AWWWWW :mad::mad:. Well, here we goo_O. I have the wife's permission and I'm going all out with bells and whistles. looking for all the help and advice I can get. please forgive me with the silly questions I might ask. very excited to start my dream build.....

It seems it's going to be ruff already don't have an LFS they shout down, all of the hobbyist I have grown to know, is not in the hobby, COVID-19, inventory. websites I used are no longer. OMG. LOL it's going to be an adventure. looking forward and getting to know you guys/gals..

Thanks for your time

Welcome back to this roller coaster ride. If I had to pick one video series to get you up to 2020 speed(so much easier nowadays) I would work my way through the 52weeks of reefing video series by Bulk Reef Supply. It’s basically an A-Z on reefing with all the new things that have been implemented over the years.

What city are you in? Did you say Tracy?
Because if you’re having trouble plumbing the new tank, @Coral reefer is a master with PVC. ( not sure if he gets out that far though) . Maybe he’ll chime in.
As far as what i’m seeing in your pics, It looks like you’ve got a great handle on the build. I love your water change station! Super smart move on your part to get that out of the way now.
I’m definitely following along.
happy reefing, enjoy the ride
