Howdy, just another Texan from the highland lakes west of Austin. Since I’m 85 my fish most likely will outlive me. I’m just getting back into the hobby as the last time I had a saltwater aquarium it was in Corpus Christi in the early 70’s. At that time I had a 75 fish only unit. Salt was everywhere and fish jumped out daily. Things have really changed. I now have a Red Sea Reefer 170 and plan to have fish and corals. Wish me luck I need it!!

Great story! Glad to have you. Shed some of those barnacles and have fun. A lot of us around here love hearing stories about reefing back then. Quite a few old guys on here as well. Make yourself at home.

I apparently don't do change well. I liked each dr. who less and less each season... being one of the first, this is one of my faves... lol
