Came across some 10yrs old photos of my 120g Oceanic Tech Tank. Still one of my favorite tanks but long gone.

The good ol days. As much as I love current reefing and technology, I miss my old biocube 29 I set up in 2007 with a sunpod metal halide, led moon lights, salinity HAD to be 1.024, and when turnover was the most discussed thing.

thanks for sharing and reminding me of simpler time.

Simple days. I had 4 T5 bulbs, a skimmer and water changes.

Man I didn’t even have a skimmer! I had tried one… I can’t remember the name but I think they’re out of business, it did absolutely nothing so I was weekly 5 gallons on my biocube. In an upstairs apartment. Getting RO from a garden house near our garage slot, Also NO NITRATE EVER!

It was gorgeous! Love the lay out of the tank. What livestock did you have?

Haha!! Yes! The garden hose connected to the RODI. I'm not sure if I had nitrates. Never tested anything after the first cycle back then lol. Totally things that are cringe now..

Thank you! That tank had a Harlequin Tusk, Yellow Tang, Juvenile Imperator, Bellus Angel and pair of Ocellaris that never left that anemone (anemone ate a Foxface horrible to walk into...) but I did love that one of all my reef tanks.

What a beautiful tank and obviously you were doing something right even if it flies in the face of modern reefing! I would gladly do exactly what you did if it gave me a tank like yours! :-)

Thank you. It was a softie/LPS tank with 4 bubble tip anemones and one carpet anemone. I've tried corals so many times after that tank and never stuck with it. Not because I couldn't keep them but because that tank was perfect. Tinted glass doors on the stand opened on all sides, starphire glass on 3 sides and came with black euro bracing. It was sweet lol.. now I run fish only systems which are my two favorites along with that one.

There is something more natural and calming/relaxing about reefs back then (or those that are still like 'then').

New reefing be like...

Truth! People use too much blue now.
Ask to ID algae and give this pic.
