Well, digging this up...

I managed to hunt down the purple and green digi! Later named ROAB digi apparently.

Also got that ORA Pavona. Not quite as nice as my old one IMO, a little shaggier and smaller, but nice.

There are definitely some nice new Montipora coming in these days that we didn't have back then. I feel like the hobby is overdue for some new colors of undata or confusa though, those species don't get the love that they deserve

Tim,

Do you have this one? I bought it years ago but eventually lost it. They come in wild occasionally.

I got to jump in and say hello! I miss having a tank and am really looking to set something up soon. My hats off to the old school reefers! Many challenges these days, cost of power, water etc. Got 400 watters put away still, Radium and Iwasaki.

Great thread guys!!!

Joe

Joe, you need another tank man! Your old reef with sps and turtle grass was a favorite! Therman have you added palawensis yet?

Hey Joe! Another legend visiting the thread!

Ed, I think that is a danae of sorts. Never tried one of those wild ones. I finally got the "true" appleberry to grown next to my knockoff. Very different colorations, both great corals.

Mark, I do have some little pieces of those, along with a TON of the "slowburn" or "nautispiral" one that has been around a few years. The "beach bum" and "outrage" I have are so much better looking, but haven't grown anywhere close to as fast for me...plus started a lot smaller!

I've got Adam's "metal polyp monti" plugging along now and acclimated to my LEDs, it is a real oddball too.

Wow, nice to hear from you! Joe, I remember visiting you and your tank and 200g refugium, I was in awe! I can't even remember when that was, probably over 10-15 years ago!

Hi Mark, I do need a tank and miss that 180/ sea grass and SPS, especially my black tang.

Hi Maximus!!!! I remember when you came over! Yes it was a while ago, 15 years I think. I did the best I could and made a lot of mistakes too, spent a lot of money lol. I miss hanging out with everybody and want to set something up soon.

Therman seemed to have sent me a PM about this thread in 2014, and I haven’t been on the site for a while and obviously don’t check my inbox often enough. I thought it would be rude not to reply and that the thread deserved a bump. My tank has been sitting empty in my garage for 10 years since I moved, and I still hope to do something with it after I remodel my house. It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do though.

I used to run a ETSS Reef Devil downdraft skimmer and Iwasaki's on my 100g sps dominated tank in the mid to late 90's. This thread sorta reminds me of the Jimmy Fallon skit, "Simpler Times" ( I think it was Fallon or Leno?).
Ok Sang, to show you how old school I am.... I finally started testing phosphates and used GFO for the first time, 6 years after you posted this

Can't believe I'm still in this crazy hobby. I still regret the day I had planned to meet you guys in Cali and for some reason, I couldn't make it. How's the family doing?

WOW! Believe it or not, my son is a junior at UC Berkeley now studying as a pre med! Man, time just flies. Pretty insane to read old posts.

Family is great...not as old as yours, but 6 and 9, which is very hard to wrap my head around.

Haha. Yeah. We’re all old. I cant believe I hit my 20 year anniversary on RC this year. That’s almost as old as the internet. Hit me up if you need toys for the grandkids. Lol.

I'm not old, you're old!!

Looks like Mark, Frisco, and Carlos are the old timers. They already had their 20 yr anniversaries!

I've got some RichK confuse for you Sang, whenever you are ready. Time to fire up that Montipora tank again...
