Hello all... Has everyone recovered from the holidays??? (wipes leftover egg nog off chin) With the new year upon us, lots of us have made some resolutions or set goals for 2017. Besides dedicating myself to get deeper in the hobby, I'm also getting married and have some fitness goals. Another goal of mine is to sell off some old equipment I have been hanging on to. There are 8 aquariums in my house and garage as well as a plethora of equipment, some still useful and probably most of it is junk (to me). About 25% of the garage is full, an entire "office", and a small piece of our living room. 8 shelves of test kits, frag plugs, old heaters......... you see where I'm going with this. I also am willing to bet I am not alone.

Are you a reefing hoarder??? I am, and I'm ready to change (but only a little). Post up some pics of your stash/es! I'll post my mess when I get home from work. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
 
Oh man, I feel like I have been called out. I have a 180, 2 90's, a 110, 2 75s, 2 20s, a 30, 3 picos, 2 small all in ones, like 5 T-5 fixtures, 6 metal halides, dozens of pump impellers, UV bulbs and sleeves, shelves filled with medications, pumps, half a dozen sumps, the list just keeps going and going and going.

I never throw anything away. I just know I'm going to need that some day
 
Hey at least all my reef junk is organized in one spot. I wish I could say the same about the wife's non reef junk.

That make up drawer? Imagine sharing a motel room with girls at the hair show! I'm a guy! I need like four things and they all end up buried under the WAR PAINT!!
