kriswaters Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Wow…glad this forum is still here!! 13 years ago I was elected President!!! At that time I had a 110 gallon tall with all the bells and whistles!! Divorce made it all disappear 🫠 I put the hobby aside, but I recently got back in with a 13.5 gallon NANO!! It has been up since April, and was doing great with two clowns and an orchid dottyback. I had a bout with hair algae so I purchased 6 turbos and they cleaned that up great. Unfortunately, I believe the brought in Brook and I lost one clown and the dotty 🥺🥺. DT is currently fallow (September 28 is 7 weeks) and fish is in hospital tank (perfectly healthy after treatment) but I’m looking to build stock back up after that!! What I learned? Dip all corals and QT everything lol. Super pumped to be back!!! Certainly don’t miss the T-5’s and Halides!!! *Fluval EVO XII *Stock return pump and lights *Hygger power head *ATO by Fzone Tank pre-Brook and My “Queen” clown-sole survivor 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefrun Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Welcome back! We were around 13 years ago so we’ve probably met.. or at least you met my husband Alex (grassi on the forum). Its crazy how much has changed in the hobby over the past decade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Holy blast from the past. Just a little backstory. I had just finished my 3 year presidential run and was stepping down. A guy named Kevin if I remember correctly took over as President. Not long after he started he hacked the site, deleted everything and replaced the website with a xxx picture. I can’t even recall why he did it. We had a very recent backup and got the site back up in a couple of hours. Kevin disappeared and Kris stepped up and became President. It was very touch and go before Kris stepped up. There were even talks about dissolving the club. Thanks again for being there when the club needed you. I’m still around. Still behind the scenes. Not as active as I used to be, but still trying to keep this club afloat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
