Throwback Thursday!! Show us a pic from way back when...

[fish farmer]

My first reef in 2002 right before the move, 38 gallon. It had been running for exactly two years and I had been unloading mushrooms and other softies to local reefers.

The platygyra was my most expensive coral, at $70 I was hesitant for weeks.

I really like this thread. Lol.
My 1st sw tank! 36g bowfront from petsmart. Lol. Circa 2008

My 2nd running tank at the same time was this 20L
My 1st exp drilling and a sump.
Was a great little tank. I grew Millipore in it. The trachy middle show piece was from seamax in 2008. I went solo and was my 1st reef show. I won a rodi unit at a raffle and never turned back. Lol
