Was informed about this forum by my friend Albert Thiel. I have a lot to learn about reefkeeping with only 35 years under my belt but I am getting there although somebody keeps moving the goal posts. So with that a big hello from me in the UK.

That many not lead to the last page but just click on the highest number and you'll be there, but then you knew that. And with 35 years of experience maybe you can share some of your wisdom.
Thanks.

Yes indeed the UK is great ... visited it many many times when I lived in Europe and got to know Atoll when I was a speaker at a very large Hobby Conference held at the London Zoo, and when I say large .. I mean LARGE .. could very well be the largest ever held in London ... Have not been back for quite some time unfortunately ...

Well thank you kind lady (well I think you are a lady) for the nice welcome. I have a little something for your daughter from Great Britain as I am sure she would love a real one but alas I can only provide a picture for here.

Thanks for all the kind welcomes everybody and Albert I will get round to posting some pic's soon for sure.:smile: Only a 2' cube with sump but its double the previous tank volume with its sump.
Duh "only" ? ... a 2 foot by 2 foot is a pretty nice size !

But not when you used to have a 145 gallon system it isn't but I can live with it :neutral:
Yes a lot of us have gone from running large tanks to running Nano-Reefs .. gee I remember the 450 gallon one I had at my house when I lived in New Mexico, and all the large ones I had when I lived in CT ... A lot of changes indeed but I find that keeping Nanos gives me a lot more pleasure now than those large huge tanks. Of course all of those had so much automation on it that there was not much to do really as it all "just happened" ..
Albert
Do post some pics when you get the time .. I know you are real busy right now so it may not be till after the Holidays I guess but there is not rush .. whenever you "get around to it" as they say

Now Les that is a nice welcome ... and yes do post a lot of pics and messages ! Thanks
Uk is greatonly been to florida twice & wanting to visit more place but USA seems a much nicer destination lol.
There are indeed so many places to visit in the US that it is hard to say which one is best as it really depends on what vacation experience you are looking for I would say. I am from Belgium originally but have lived here for over 30 years and one of the tours around the US that I liked the most was visiting all the National Parks, well as many as we could in 3 weeks. That was quite an experience. Of course one could select a region of the US, e.g. the West Coast or the East Coast and spend a week or two in one of those, or the Midwest, or the South East or South West ... remember this IS a big Country ...
Welcome to R2R. I joined this forum over two years ago. It's a nice forum. I'm from the UK too. The community here on this forum is the nicest I've come across. I am a member on all the big forums: canreef, RC, NR, masa, Socalreef etc this is the best forum for me.
Yes although I think this message is for ATOLL .. I have to agree that this IS the nicest forum I am on and like you I am on many ... Best wishes to you and your Family for the Holidays
