Hello (self introduction here)

Hi Everybody!

My name is Neil and it's been about a year since I've had a tank. It was FO and I was just starting to get my toes wet with live rock. Life became busy and I had to give it up for a bit. I really miss the hobby and I've got the itch to start again. So... I'm really excited that there's such an active group in town.

Eventually the tank is coming out of the garage, but in the meantime I'm taking it slowly and discovering what I need to make my gutted FOWLR into a decent reef setup. Most of what I need I'm finding plenty of information, but I'm really stuck on the lighting.

I want the pretty shimmer of halides so that's easy. Bulb colour and supplementation though is really confusing. Hopefully by the time I've got the funds saved it'll be less of a mystery.

So... excited about returning to the hobby and finding this group. I live in Elk Grove so hopefully I'll make it up to Folsom for the meetup!

ciao
