My 30 year old reef tank blew a seal on the bottom of the tank. Complete loss. And what a mess, which can be repaired . The sad part was the eco-system that relied on me to take of them. I am sick to my stomach. Including some fish that I had for over 20 years. Now what to do with all the...

Nice to see you and your wife out and about. My wife has MS as well, and like your wife, she has the progressive form. She is currently in a three year trial where they use her own stem cells to try to reverse the effects. All the best.

Fernando. I would love to post a video or pics. Every time I try I get an error message that the file is too big. My purple tang is the size of a porgy.

I might be moving in the near future. One obstacle is my 30 year old 220 reef tank. I feel like I have an obligation to keep things together, and not sell items individually. I have not lost or bought any fish or corals in over 5 years. Some of my tangs have been together for over 15 years...

Does anyone need 7 inch filter socks. I have 12, for $25. Brand new, still in the bag.

Brand new still in bags. 12, 7 inch 200 micron doctors foster smith filter socks. $30. Local pickup. I live in Northport LI. After 35 years of fish keeping I am selling a bunch of stuff that I do not need anymore. Some still in boxes. I will posting over the next several days.

nice job

I still chuckle at the fact that 35 years ago when I first started by reef tank, keeping aiptasia thriving was seen as success.

For the first time in 30 years of reef keeping I ordered a clean-up crew, snails in particular. I could not understand why the vendor suggested ordering 150 of each type. So I order 12. I did not realize these snails were smaller than pees. LOL!! They all quickly disappeared in my 300...

Just received notification that Marinedepot was acquired by Bulkreef. Interesting, I ordered 100s of items from Marinedepot over the years. Less competition now, but could be good from an LFS perspective.

Outstanding. Nice job

Went downstairs and saw my tank’s pumps were spewing bubbles and my sump was almost empty. I thought there was a leak. Thankfully I just left the fill hose in the sump which back siphoned into my 55 gallon water storage. Phew. It was a nerve racking 60 seconds when I first went downstairs...

Albano - did you have tanks with slate bottoms back in the 50s!!! Happy birthday

48 years. My current reef is 20 years old, and I have not added anything in over 5 years.

When I first started keeping salt water tanks 40 years ago, keeping Aptasia alive was considered a success. Now even mushrooms are considered a pest.
