Curious to see how many of you have converted friends or people local to the hobby. I feel like I am a big cheerleader for this hobby, and I am constantly (without realizing it sometimes) trying to find local people to share my passion with.
For me, it's one. @HotRockTarBaby is a local friend and he jumped in to this hobby HARD! Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL, quarantine tank, rock and coral quarantines, and he learns FAST. It's nice to have someone local to help (because no one else has the patience for this hobby that isn't in it or understands), to bounce ideas off of, trade with, etc.
He's a bad influence to me too, tells me we are buying Gem tangs in December 2018!
I know some people "sell" lots of people on this hobby, how many people have you "converted?"
Heck yeah, it counts!!!my dad went freshwater route after I got my 75g tank. Does that count?
grow sps in mason jar aquariums that cost ten cents and they will come
not joking, they're coming. its just a very slow stampede 16 yrs in the making give us another 3 pls
in my opinion if you reduce the volume and cost you quadruple the participation in growing coral. do the exact opposite of what we were told to do in the 90s, to bring in more reefers in my opinion. large tankers w always get the neat fish and fill that demand niche, and the huge colonies yep. when dealing with aquacultured/traded corals I don't have any issues with experimentation in smaller reefs.
@4FordFamily you don't give yourself enough credit. You can take a partial responsibility for me as well due to your advice on the site. As I'm sure you can for many others on here as well!
As for me, I claim one. My wife, who I introduced to Blond Naso Tangs, which she fell in love with. "But Darling, they need at least an 8 foot tank!" Bru hoo ha ha ha ha haaaaa! Dussumeri Tangs are her next introduction when I want to upgrade!
Same thing as I sold it to themHope you got a discount

Haha that’s a good point! I fear I may scare some away!
Thanks friend, that’s very kind. Glad you find it helpful!I doubt you scare any away at all, as you show us paths to what works! I really value your advice very highly and when I am ready to set up my system your tang advice will be the cornerstone of how I introduce tangs. And yes, I realise it doesn't always go to plan.
Thank you.
I wouldn’t do that to a friend. It’s like pushing meth.
