Nancymacc Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) It's been a few years since I last posted. I ended up selling my 72g system back in either late 2011 or early 2012. I had been travelling with my job and my daughter just didn't want to manage maintenance in my absence. It was a tough decision, but the right one for me at the time. I was so afraid the tank would just crash in my absence and that would have devastated me Well its 2017, no more travel, I am about to set up a 24g Aquatop RC24G. Heading out to pick it up at Barrier Reef, here in Renton. I actually have a JBJ 28g Nano Cube arriving from and online retailer but when I saw this nice rimless setup at the store yesterday, came home and did some research and decided I will send the JBJ back when it arrives. Glad to be back. Looking forward to devouring the expertise that I have always found with this group. Trying to remember...is there a membership fee? Mine is overdue I bet!! (edit - found the link. Done) Edited March 26, 2017 by ninkylou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Welcome back! I did the same thing - gone from around 09/10 until last spring. Just got the new tank up about 7 months ago. Lots of things have changed in that time (new coral, fish, technogy) but people here are still really helpful and knowledgeable so I am sure you will have lots of fun getting up and running again. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancymacc Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 It's good to be back. Life is getting back to the zen state that exists when I have some kind of a tank. It is such a labor of love.

Flashy Fins Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Welcome! You tore down just before I got in, so I guess that makes me a new wave reefer. Looking forward to a new tank thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) That looks like a potentially dangerous cocktail! (for you or the tank... maybe both) Edited April 11, 2017 by albertareef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashy Fins Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 One day, I sat a bottle of Flatworm Exit right next to my eye drops and noticed they come in the exact same bottle with different labels. Nearly gave myself a heart attack just at the thought of mixing them up! Very quickly separated the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly gave myself a heart attack just at the thought of mixing them up! Very quickly separated the two. I took a dog flea control pill many, many years ago. Was talking to one of the kids as I was getting it out, walked over to the sink, poured a glass of water and down the hatch. Realized it the split second after I swallowed.

I guess there's just one question to ask... did it take care of the fleas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
