Getting back into it

[smccart22]

To start my name is shawn, i had an account on here 5 or 6 years ago when i was pretty heavy into the hobby and then i started working my life away and unfortunately my tank crashed.. I had a 90 gallon mixed reef that was thriving and i was very successful in keeping alot of higher end sps and acans along with fish. Unfortunately one week i literally worked 5 days in a row and slept at the quarters and when i got home i came to realize my timers had failed and my lights never came on and my main pump had died somehow, i ended up losing everything including all my live rock and coraline.. So after taking a few years off i am finally getting back into it, i still have all my original rock i just need to buy 15 to 20 more pounds to re-seed it all and get everything going again.. Im also looking to purchase another light fixture and noticed i couldnt find the for sale thread that used to be available on here, am i just not looking in the right spot? or did they get rid of them?

Oh alright, i guess that could be the problem then haha, in the meantime im looking for a 48" t5 metal halide fixture for my tank, if anyone has one or knows of someone selling one i'd apprecate the heads up.. Otherwise it looks like im buying a brand new one in the next few day

Welcome!

Someone on this board is selling a bunch of LR from a system that they are taking down. I think that there was also a 6 bulb 48" t5 fixture for sale on this board within the past month.

welcome what size tank are you going to be setting up this go around???? And what are you planning on putting in it?

I will be sticking with the 90 gallon for the mean time, probably going to go with a mixed reef again but stay away from an sps dominated tank, i know one of my friends has a large colony of a limited sunset and rainbow monti i had fragged for him so i may try to get him to frag me a small piece of that, but other than that im going to keep an anemone, some lps and some other miscellanious corals, as for fish, i havent decided on a set stock list yet, that will come once i get the live rock and light fixture

Good luck with everything!
