I have been out of the game for 6 years but I am getting back in. I cannot believe how much things have changed, i.e. lighting, filtration, etc!

Welcome to MR and welcome back to the hobby. I am sure there is alot of new tech but the basics are still the same. Jump right in and let us know what you're lookin to do with your tank and remember PICS ARE WELCOME HERE!!! We are pic hoes!

Mike,

Welcome aboard and please use the search feature for some casual reading on all the newer updates and recommendations - I would also read the skimmer thread and see what people are saying about some of the newer and older skimmer options.

Enjoy all that MR has to offer and ask away!

thanks; I once had a 75 gal fowlr with basic lighting. I am now thinking of a 90 or 120 reef ready tank and lighting that will allow some corals, possibly T5's? Anyway, I have been doing a ton of reading here and on reefcentral.com and will probably be ready to purchase equipment in June.

House of Laughter; what is House of Fish/ JD Aquatics? A LFS or an online supplier? I work in White Plains, fairly close to Ossining.

Welcome back Mike

I'd say things have changed for equipment, but you still need to do water changes. :Hydrogen:
