If you want to collect legally now you have to go 9 miles out and cannot stop on the trip out or back.

Good morning all you reeferheads!

In case you missed it, Ed @StatelineReefer , Frank and I had ourselves a little powwow this morning. I believe the highlight of the conversation was Ed posting some new, little friends he received in a box. Additionally, we also discussed reefing from years passed and learned a bit more about each other. I, for one, will admit that it was nice to have others to chat it up, in the middle of the night, and I enjoyed the time spent with them!

morning. I check out (early) and come back, you all have stacked 5 pages on the thread. good work.
Not sure we’ve had a Proper intro yet…
I’m the Grumpy Uncle of the Cronies, doctor says it’s the tequila, I told him he’s nuckin futs…I’m old and grumpy :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: (but younger than Francis ) … I’m here and there on occasion, mostly here, silently taking notes. I live at the beach (and I’m really disliking older than me people right now:rolleyes:) and still work 60-70 hours a week to feed the habit(s) ;)
Good to meet you. I have seen you around, but I'm bad at saying hi. Hello!

My name is absolutely Ed! Well, not Absolutely Ed, that'd be a much longer signature, just Ed.

Although, Absolutely Ed describes me to a tee!

"There are no Absolutes!"
"Have you ever met Ed? He's absolutely Ed"
Wife's cooking a baby now, I might have to be one of "those" parents and name it starting with "Absolutely"
thanks for the idea Ed!

No need to apologize... VERY few people know how long I've been in the hobby. I think Frank has guessed at it once or twice.

My reefing history and the knowledge I've gained definitely do not match up though.
Me. 2-5 years. And I know zilch. Fish only for 3.

Hmmm. Everyone here seems to just say 20+ years. So I'll put everyone in that bucket unless you say otherwise

Until they stop making bulbs for them. I have the two pendants, and a 72" 3MH 4x36" T5 hybrid to put over the 96, as well as 8 Noopsyches (Thanks Frank!)

Shallow because I don't want to have to swim through the tank, also because it makes flow easier to handle.

This is the Tidepool tank I keep talking about. It will raise and lower the water level throughout the day, as well as change flow patterns for high, rising, low, and falling tides.
Tidepool tank need to see. Would do the same next tank. Well because tinkering is fun for me

As with everything, you are correct.

I am also the reason for wars and famine.
I thought they were (insert current president)'s fault. At least with it being you we have some consistancy.

4 yrs in March. I am one of those who just regurgitate misinformation because I don't know any better. BUT I am getting better at that thanks to the Cronies slapping me around a bit. In a good way, I liked it.
