[reefer209]

im 45 and have been reefing off and on since 1994. The hobby has seen alot of changes since i got started. i remember going to a B.A.R.S meeting and seeing a presentation on sps where these guys were getting sps to actually grow under MH lighting. I couldn't believe it! I was doing good to keeping my fish alive at that point. The only coral I would even consider was a plate coral, fungia, they would last 6 months or so. protein skimmers were in their infancy at that point.

Wow, it's hard to imagine reefing without good lights, and a protein skimmer. I love hearing how the hobby has evolved over the years. Also, good to see such a variety of reefers out there!

I'm 44, started with FW when I was 16 switched over to Saltwater fish only in my early 20s and started a "reef" tank (softies and sun corals) a couple years later. I took about 17 years off and just started back up about 7 months ago!
