Who are the 18 crazy people that love hauling buckets lol!

Very funny.

As of now, 8 people also voted "Pests!". I get that. I had my first Aiptasia recently in my new setup and I was ecstatic. I felt like I was officially back to reefing as I eradicated it. Funny that, and dry, but sticky salt hands so far have been the best moments of my return to saltwater.

I voted watching the corals grow, but more specifically when I tore down and moved my first tank in 2002, the box was full and running very well at the 2 year mark.

I'm coming back around to that same situation, the box is filling up and I'm dialing in the parameters to where I want them. I'm actually weeding many corals I've had for years...it is almost sad. I want to try a couple SPS again and rethinking my system for that.

I do like the build part of the hobby. Soon I'm going to make a better water mixing station....making the hard labor less of a chore.
