Hi all, my name is Eric. I'm grateful to have this opportunity to share this with you all. I've lived in NJ for over 40 years, currently in Toms River and Long Branch.
I started keeping fish in the 80s, then my saltwater passion started in 1996. Shortly after that time I had a 90 hex, 75,55,3-20 longs while I worked in a retail pet store. I ran open and. Closed systems. I worked in wholesale after those 2 years and between the both with benefits my parents hated me lol!

I kept my 90 and 75 until life had other priorities. I moved from Morris County down to TR a month before Sandy. I really missed reefing!!!

This past November a friend gave me a new 60g tank and it started me thinking how length is sometimes more important.
With patience that I've learned I started planning what I needed. So much has changed!!!! Money is budgeted, but I'll always buy the best of what I can afford.
I built a stand on Christmas week, started ordering things shortly after. On Easter morning I started adding Brightwell Ammonium Chloride and Micro Bacter XLM. 9 days later 0 nh3, 0 no2, 5 no3

I am so happy to be back, patient to add and I'm 15 minutes from Aquarium Care Center.

R2R name Billabong
My R2R build thread is Build Thread - My 75 after 25 year break.

Hello everyone.
I am coming back after a 20 year break from fish. My last attempt was short lived as I had too little time with not enough money. I live in central jersey (Plainfield) and my 50G AIO has been up and running for 2 months now.

I am hoping to visit some other stores outside of the 3 in my area (Reefco, Aquarium Obsessions', Ocean Gallery). I just don't know where to start....

I hope you all have a great day!

-Chris
