I have reliable intelligence that my husband has bought me a BioCube 32 setup as a Hanukkah gift, which I should receive in the next week.

I'm really excited. I sold off my 80g eleven years ago when we got married and I moved across the country. Then three kids happened, and life. I never got back to the hobby. Looks like that will be happening in the next week or two.

Aside from LED lighting being normal now (when I left the hobby they were exorbitantly expensive and the super hot and expensive to run metal halides were the norm for reef keeping), what have been the biggest changes in the hobby these last 10 or so years?

Wow. I'm so excited. My idea already, as I've had time to think over the last decade about what I'd do if I had a smallish tank again, is for a peaceful tank with perhaps a clam or two as a centerpiece. Not so sure about SPS's. I'm thinking mostly zoas and stuff for coral.
