Looking for some old-timers who left and came back in to the hobby

[Griffin]

Welcome Back Jesse - I had the same problem start 4 weeks ago - thinking about my old tanks and how relaxing it was tinkering on them, its a hard one to let go of. Checking Canreef for pics, stuff for sale, information on new equipment, seeing if my old login worked lol. I am aswell going to get back into it but on a smaller bases. Looking forward to it and Anthony was on my ass saying i told you so within an hour of me putting up a post As always though he has offered his help in anyway to get things going for me again - Anthony you are a dedicated unselfish reefer and we all appreciate your help when we need it.
Cheers
Rich

Welcome back. I'm hoping to get more nice SPS frags from you soon.

As for T5 vs MH, I like the fact that I can actually touch my 5x39W T5HO (Aquactinics TX5) canopy and that it does provide enough light for my corals. They didn't however provide enough light for my 3 Crocea clams which perished shortly after I swapped lights (all else constant).

As you can see from above, not much has changed in the bickering department

hmmmm

How old do you consider old-timer. Started my first reef 90 gallon with 100 lbs of live rock and 2 back-pack skimmers back in 1995. Back then, mainly lps and softies. Had galaxy, frogspawns, hammers etc. Sold off everything in 2006, went to freshwater again and came back to reef May of this year.
You know what the biggest change in the hobby is? The internet.
In the mid 90's, the only info you could get is from buying magazines and books. Now I can get an instant reply from anybody from all over the world.
Sharing knowledge is the reason we can take this hobby so far.
