I have been out of the hobby since roughly 2007-2008 but never had the heart to get rid of my tank. Last night after quite a bit of effort we managed to get the 600lb monster up the steps and to the living room. I plan on starting to set it back up again but am curious if anything has changed dramatically in the hobby. Perhaps new technology that nobody can live without! Presently I have the 215 gallon reef tank by Oceanic with matching sump below. I still have the Iwaki pump and metal halide lighting plus all the small accessories that go with it. I still even have a lot of the rock which is obviously dead but I will just mix it with some fresh new live rock.
I also have the luxury of living about 2 miles from the beach in Ft. Lauderdale and I dive a lot. The plan is to bring in some ocean water and sand to speed up the setup then catch a good amount of what I plan to stock it with while diving. Don't worry I have already checked the rules and local regulations. If anyone has any experience here I would love to hear it as I use to always use my LFS.
