Hey All,
I was completely obsessed with the hobby from 2000 till 2008. But had 3 kids and had to step away. But I'm back with a little 13gallon nano that used to be my frag tank. I just set it up and used some of the old rock I've kept in my garage, along with a few small pieces of live rock from the LFS. Hopefully Corraline algae will spread.
Back before youtube - I ran a site called reefvideos.com, and would film people with cool tanks in Toronto and edit/post them there. Hello to anyone who remembers me!
I notice lots of changes in the hobby. Ideas, equipment, prices! Equipment is so slick now. My new pump and lights from AI have an elegant interface.
Old man rant:
Coral prices are crazy! I bought a football sized Deresa clam for $80 in 2004. The LFS has tiny 3" clams for $300! and frags cost as much as full colonies did.
And all the zoanthids/acans have marketing departments and fancy names. Psycho Cookie Monster Orange Soda for $xx/polyp.
I'm excited to see my tank cycle and mature, add livestock and to share my excitement with my kids.
