This was my desktop 5.5g nano sporting a 70w metal halide, real tonga branch live rock, and gravity drip fed ATO!

We worked together side by side for many years (mining industry)... he came to help level the floor in that room (home theater) and i think his words that day were "You know... you are really hard to work for". I think we mixed and poured 30 bags of SLC - the stuff was going off as fast as we could spread it, and the more we poured the warmer it got and the faster it went off... a bit stressful.

That's pretty rare, getting to work with your old man. I got to work with my boy for a few years myself and thought it was the coolest thing. Got him a job as a pharmacy assistant when he was 15. When I was the RPh on duty on Saturdays, he was there too.

Thanks rev - it does not look as good anymore. I let it go for years and somewhat reset (cleaned up and got it back on track) a year and half ago and (being honest) don't do much but supply it power these days. It is coming back (almost all SPS) but has a LONG way to go. It is 20+ years old... maybe 25. I lost track.

I remember reading this in 1989 front to back like three times. Mind blown! Had my first reef setup in 1990. Wish I could find those old old photos!

This is from 2010-2011. I’m not sure where any of my tank pics from 2005-2010 are. Likely on a hard drive somewhere
