My Reef reached 48 years old today

[Paul B]

I moved it three times, the last move was 8 months ago. I moved 60 miles and transferred everything from my old 100 gallon tank into a new 125 gallon tank. The old tank was 40 years old and the front was very scratched. I wanted a larger tank anyway and that old one was built into a wall and I couldn't remove it anyway.
Since this tank is 6" higher, I need some more corals to fill it but corals have been scarce in LFSs lately and there are none around here so I have to drive long distances to get some.
I didn't lose any livestock in the move.

Diana, my hermit crabs have canker sores older then you.

Holy cow. Apparently I got started in this hobby WAY to late. Congratulations. As I read and read I hear the number 10 years thrown around like the holy grail. You just changed the game and wrote new rules. To survive that long with creatures we know so little about is truly amazing. I will keep an eye out for your postings The knowledge and experience you have is priceless. Thank you for sharing
