    Ok, I am finding more and more cool things to have. I do think one can over due the tank equipment but man it's hard not to. It is that once you decide to add something, you always come back with more. In my case, order more. How many of you are also equipment Junkies?

    I am for sure.
    Just finished moving and found the following in boxes that i'm not using.
    UV filter, 40 long tank, 2 20's, 2 10's, few smaller light fixtures, 2 hob filters, 3 pumps, 3 auto feeders, enheim 600gph pump, 2 more heaters, extra natural wave maker, and other odds and ends. Looks like I should just start up another tank :)

    I have aquarium stuff that I haven't seen in 10 years or so. I finally got to go through the stuff when I moved recently! GOT RID OF ALOT OF JUNK!!!!
    Do you want to know what is amazing?... I can remember my first saltwater tank back in the 80's when different kinds and colors of dead coral was the in thing/fashion in decor for a tank. I can remember spending $20.00 or more on a bleached/dead piece of Acropora from my local pet shop back in the day!!! How pathetic is that... and what a jump we have made from then, to present day!!!!
    Anyone want to buy dead bleached pieces of coral????????hahaha

    I have so much stuff from all my old freshwater tanks. I have no plans of going back but years from now I might do a fully planted tank. I am getting rid of everything to please my husband. I just keep moving it from one storage area to another. I guess I should give his office back to him after all he has given me half the basement for my sump/refug and ect.
