First tank was 20 years ago. Live rock was almost $20/lb. It always had coral on it. I used to feed my aptaisia pieces of krill, no idea what they were. Internet was just starting to have pics, if you could figure out how to view them. Newsgroups were about the only online support forum. MH hadn't really caught on yet. Protein skimmers were catching on, if you could find the lime wood airstones. Successes were few and far between.
I became pretty good at this by year 10, could grow frags like crazy. Sold lots. Hobby has evolved to the point where I just want a nice display. I won't sell frags anymore, trimmings will be given to LFS or tossed. I'm scheduling a big purge to get rid of the crates of equipment hoarded over the last 20 years. I predict another 5 years, then I'm done. New hobby will be surfing
