Thanks Paul, I've been accused of being a 'Moonie' before!

Thanks, retirement is on the horizon so I may get more active again. Recently redid the 180 so I might resurrect my tale of the tank thread.

Wow! A post after 11 years and I wasn't around to respond!

Talking about coming and going, the trains are down so I can redo the benchwork, which I'm planning on starting soon! While it's down I'm painting the basement, upgraded the lighting and new train shelving will will the back wall. I know all these posts are worthless without pictures.!

Hello again! I introduced myself way back on page 3 in 2006 and I have come and gone on this forum throughout the years. The kids are way grown up and now I'm known as Grampy in the family and plan on retiring later this year.. Just reworked my 180 and when I get inspired I'll update my ancient...

As always I break with conventional wisdom. Three yellow tail blue damsels living with a pair of Ocellaris Clowns, Royal Gramma, Tomini Tang, Female Swallow Tail and a male Lemark. Full disclosure, there were five originally, but over time two disappeared.

I have one MP40, lagoon mode, full power on a 6 foot 180 gallon. Mostly soft corals with some LPS.

Anyone going to address this statement? Hopefully you take the time to acclimate a new fish and not dump them straight out of the bag as this phrase seems to indicate.
