Didn’t realize undergravel filters were outdated! Still running multiple tanks with an under gravel filter run on only air pump, heater, light and 100% weekly water changes

Lifelong freshwater aquarist who remembers being kissed through the glass by my dads kissing gouramis in his planted tank back in the 90’s. Now I’m trying to recreate that with my 2 boys but add in 4 small reefs on top of the FW tank. I got into SW in 2012 with a fluval edge 6g, pre packaged water and a petco condy anemone that ate my clown fish, second attempt was more successful with an IM40 and still have the livestock of that system between a 1.75g reefbowl, 2.5g dropoff, three cup reef, and a reefer 250 (soon to be downsized to an IM25 lagoon). Creeped on the forum 2016/2017, joined last year as a paid member and was super stoked when I got my little laminated membership card. I find the forum nano-reef has more available knowledge that pertains to my tanks(nano/picos) but I score all my best coral on this forum and meet nice people and like to read about the larger sized systems and of course Paul B threads. I still need to sack up and go to a meeting and get a bag of fish goo one day though.
