Old timers

[Chris L]

Do I count as an old timer?

 

[aresangel]

From ‘05 I would count you in there! Especially with 4800 posts!

Wow checking back in after a few months (better than a few years again lol) great to see all the activity.

Mo: yes - I moved to CT and took a job at Mystic Aquarium. It’s been a wacky journey since then and I’m actually back in Mystic after 15 years but I’m long out of the public aquarium business lol.

Crazy to see what you guys made of all this! So impressive.

I was a little late for the party. But it's good to see some names I haven't seen in some time

This ought to make you laugh.

Wow that's an old video...

 

[Fried Clam]

Wow, look at all the old members on here! Joe, it's been quite a while since I've seen that video. I wasn't around when it was made, but I've seen it a few times. Good to see you and Moe and some of the other people still active on here. Tab and were just talking about Moe the other day. We don't have a tank up currently, but she's working on getting a small tank set up for her grandmother so we'll have that going soon hopefully.

So I know I'm a little late to the party but how many of these old timers still have tanks?

I’m a true junkie. Stayed clean for 10 years. Then one day I thought I could have just one little fresh water tank. That didn’t satisfy the itch so I got a little 14 gallon salt tank, a few zoas, acans and small gobies. Then I upgraded the light. Scored a couple easy sps. You know, montis and some birds nest. That was all it took. I’m right back where I was 10 years ago. Maybe even worse. I’m up to 180 gallon SPS system. A separate 125 gallon softy system. Both have 40 gal frag tanks and separate quarantine systems. Constant upgrades. Always looking for the next acro. A place in the house I can add another tank.
It’s just me and the dog now. Even other reef junkies say I have a problem.

I literally laughed out loud at this @ 12:54AM, scared the bejesus out of my dogs.

Hey Scott, was just talking about you the other day, you still in the area?

 

[smpross]

No, about 4 years ago, I moved right outside of Tampa, FL (Smartest thing I ever did). I still get back to Boston about twice a year and sometimes for work as well. Hope you guys are doing well!

I converted my 156 gallon tank to Cichlids. I have two other tanks running, but nothing salty. I no longer have the passion or time for a reef tank.

Brian say it isn't so.

 

[Intheflesh]

Been here since Dec '07. I'm not that old

 

[Moe_K]

No tank for me, now. . Maybe another in the next couple of years.

Reviving this thread with some old pics. You're welcome.

Dr. Rob Toonen - awesome club presentation. I think we got him while he was in the states for vacation or something.
