Well folks I joined this merry crew on 12-10-2002.
Man the changes I've seen here and in my own system. I remember when there were less than 10000 members here, now look at it. Several new forums.
I look back at pictures of my tank with nothing but base rock and sand in it, just sitting there cycling away. Wet/dry going full blast.
A coral here, a new fish there. I'm still a long way from where I would like to be in stocking my tank. I still think my tank can't hold a candle to some of the great tanks I've seen you members post here. Beth's, Bang's and NMreef's tanks are breath taking and modles of reef tanks to dream about as are so many of the others I've seen the members post.
Changes in my tank in two years include:
Going from 380 watts of VHO to 940 watts VHO/MH combo
Adding a 55 gallon refugium onto the 90 gallon display.
Slowly taking out the bio balls and filter floss.
Adding a few more rocks, with some that I would still like to add.
Dripping Kalkwasser
My clownfish have started mating and laying eggs, I'm still not ready for that journey yet.
Anti fish jumping grids and powerhead protectors using fine mesh plastic grids
Many other little things here and there.
All that cost money
But one of the greatest things is sharing and learning all the great saltwater information with you guys.--Priceless.
Thank you to all members, I love sharing this hobby with you.
Thank you for two great years of sharing.
