  1. Tank Thread Tank reached 38 years old...in 2009!

    Nice to see you and your wife out and about. My wife has MS as well, and like your wife, she has the progressive form. She is currently in a three year trial where they use her own stem cells to try to reverse the effects. All the best.
  2. Might Be Moving - Can I donate My Tank

    Fernando. I would love to post a video or pics. Every time I try I get an error message that the file is too big. My purple tang is the size of a porgy.
  3. Might Be Moving - Can I donate My Tank

    I might be moving in the near future. One obstacle is my 30 year old 220 reef tank. I feel like I have an obligation to keep things together, and not sell items individually. I have not lost or bought any fish or corals in over 5 years. Some of my tangs have been together for over 15 years...

  6. 230 Rimless Build

    nice job
  7. LOOKING FOR MAJANO WAND

    I still chuckle at the fact that 35 years ago when I first started by reef tank, keeping aiptasia thriving was seen as success.
  8. I am an idiot

    For the first time in 30 years of reef keeping I ordered a clean-up crew, snails in particular. I could not understand why the vendor suggested ordering 150 of each type. So I order 12. I did not realize these snails were smaller than pees. LOL!! They all quickly disappeared in my 300...
  9. Marinedepot acquired by BulkReef Supply

    Just received notification that Marinedepot was acquired by Bulkreef. Interesting, I ordered 100s of items from Marinedepot over the years. Less competition now, but could be good from an LFS perspective.
  10. Baby Banggai cardinal surprise!!

    Outstanding. Nice job
  11. Everyone’s worst fear

    Went downstairs and saw my tank’s pumps were spewing bubbles and my sump was almost empty. I thought there was a leak. Thankfully I just left the fill hose in the sump which back siphoned into my 55 gallon water storage. Phew. It was a nerve racking 60 seconds when I first went downstairs...
  12. POLL: How long have you been keeping saltwater tanks?

    Albano - did you have tanks with slate bottoms back in the 50s!!! Happy birthday
  13. POLL: How long have you been keeping saltwater tanks?

    48 years. My current reef is 20 years old, and I have not added anything in over 5 years.
  14. Aptasia

    When I first started keeping salt water tanks 40 years ago, keeping Aptasia alive was considered a success. Now even mushrooms are considered a pest.
  15. LiveAquaria sold by Petco

    Hi. It is interesting. My 225 reef tank is 25 years old. I have not added anything to my tank in over 5 years, as I really have no room. I was shocked that my $49 purple tank I bought at fishtown 10 years ago is now $500. I am not sure I would be able to get my tank to where it is...
