Wow, I didn't think so many people were interested. Thanks guys.
That wrasse is actually very happy and healthy, he is making breakfast for me now. That is just a lousy picture.
There is a 100 page thread about my tank here if you are interested. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tank-birthday-40-years.55423/page-98#post-3574650
I also wrote a book which is on here someplace.
Of course I remember those things. That same year I returned from my service in Viet Nam, I was 21
At that time I used regular fluorescent lighting or light bulbs, I forget. My first skimmer was a Sanders counter current which I quickly removed and built my own. I build all my lights and skimmers. My lighting now is a DIY water cooled LED system. It is all in that thread I linked
The tank started in here in 71
