Hi everyone I’m a new member just got a new blue hippo tang a baby about an inch and half long
Yes, I'm that OLD!!!! LOL My first marine tank was a 7 1/2 gallon tank with a slate bottom and metal frame. Can you tell why it was not a long term success? LOL I lived by the coast so getting water and livestock was easy for me to replace everything. The water was much cleaner back then. "Reef" keeping is quite new ( compared to just fish) and the knowledge of doing it right is still growing. Many of the old ways are lacking the proper equipment necessary for reef keeping. I've seen a lot of changes in the lighting used for reefs, filtering systems, supplements necessary, tank sizes used, stock available....The list goes on. You need today's knowledge for sure.Wow u are a pioneer of reef keeping if u been in the hobby since the 70s I read a lot about the old school techniques u all incorporated that’s cool I am open too any suggestions u may have thanks
