The Miracle Tank

[JoshH]

You guys are great you have no idea. Thank you all for the well wishes.

No thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share something so personal with us. With everything going on around these days, being able to have a place and people to share things with is SO incredibly important. I'm sure I speak for everyone here (except MAYBE @fishguy242 cause hes too busy playing with matches) when I say we feel blessed that you consider us all close enough to share both the awesome highs in your life as well as the more troubling times.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Others here have written so many great comments. You all have time to continue to let him know he is loved and valued which is a blessing in itself. Prayers for all the family!

What do you all think about helping Erin O get her 29 gallon tank going. I have live rock and Eheim hang on the back filter and some live sand plus a ground probe. She needs a powerhead and some other things. Seems like the 75 gallon tank is not a go at this time.

Of course her hubby has to say it is okay.

I could make a 75g reef ready happen. It's been curing in the basement for two weeks after I patched the seam leak that made me take it down...

I have some chunks of maro rock I can send, as long as @JoshH doesnt want/need them too...waiting on response from him...

Me too. I was spoiled. Got to hand pick Pacific live rock for mine.

Ah, the good ol' days...

It smelled oh so good too. This was in 1999!

You can't get that stuff anymore. It was just such a burst of biodiversity right off the bat. Lots of stuff actually survived being shipped halfway across the globe in damp newspaper.

 

[NY_Caveman]

You made me want to go back and look. This is when I first got mine. Lots of life popped out over the next year including Palys, sponges and tons of critters.
(there is some dry rubble and shelf mixed in).

Pretty sure he is back up and running again but the roll out has been slow..

I am not a fan of his more recent man made stuff TBH. I understand it is environmentally conscious, but I prefer the real deal.

I set my tanks up with Haitian.

Look at this beauty

I miss when the pink, purple, and green weren't just painted on... when it came on the rock, thick coralline growth with sponges and little shrimp and crabs in the nooks and crannies... and stuff that you don't get to SEE out of dead rock... cryptic bivalves... I miss that... I know why they stopped it, but I still miss that.
