I remember when I started way back in 2007 Saltwater fish were $5 - $20 dollars for most fish. I think I paid $35 for a Yellow tang and I got a Purple tang for $50. My Yellow Tang got too big and boisterous so I sold him for $20 and it took 2 weeks to sell!

Same, only I started with SW back in '09. I remember buying massive zoa colonies (like 100 polyps) for $50. Now, some people charge that per head. Crazy. I also walked 10 miles back and forth to school everyday. Uphill both ways, through the snow... ...with bare feet. Kids these days.

And that's why so many of the older generation suffered from altitude sickness..

TANK TALK: What equipment on a stock aquarium system is necessary to upgrade for fish and corals to thrive? Weigh in on your thoughts below for your entry today.

I cant live without my Apex controller. I travel a lot for work and it lets me control/keep an eye on things while im gone.

TANK TALK: What's been your most expensive / heartbreaking fish loss due to jumping?

I lost "Lashes" my wifes favorite fish to jump. I miss that fish.. I think my bristletooth tang was just too mean to him. when I upgrade to my 180 I will have another one.

No one wants to do a TANK TALK topic today?

 

[tbrown]

I've got a good topic for @Avast Justin and @Top_Lids

TANK TALK: With the increase in availability of 3D printers and 3D print files for reef/aquarium use, is there something keeping you from getting your own 3D printer? If you already have a 3D printer, was it the reefing hobby that drove you to take the plunge or was it something else and reefing just benefits?
