moved to salt water in 2000, took that tank down in 2009, looking at starting up another (but smaller) tank now.

How long do you have to look? Been too long Steve.

lets see first board was Canreef in 2001 Mar and still going strong. lots of salt and skimmers here

Well a few of you have been keeping fish since well before my time about 15 years before lol. As for the people in 2001 I was in gr 6, never had fish growing up always my parents think I am crazy for keeping fish now. At our last house our neighbours thought we sold drugs and no one understood. Where we live now the neighbour boy has a interest in fish and we have been helping him out, usually pump my water change water to his house for his clown fish. I think it's a good hobby to be in great people, teaches you a hard lesson the value and fragility of life.

well to tell the truth I have been to busy with other stuff, now life is slowing down a bit, and I have come to terms with not being able to do a big tank.

I have to do a vibration text downstairs, we live a little to close to the tracks here and I wold hate to have a tank fail on me because of my own stupidity, so I want to see how much they will make the water move in the basement before I start into it again. then it will be a long process as I am building my own reactors and skimmer and such, I still have about 1500 bucks of raw acrylic tube in the garage that I need to use up, and 4 reactors and a monster skimmer than just need me to finish them up.

Doug, how close to the tracks are you? and does it move your water?

Steve

my dad got me into it as we used to have a 900 gal Oscar tank when I was 10, have had fresh water at one time or another all through my life.

Steve

Your just going to either tell the train the move or slow it down, nothing a little speed bump won't take care of :wink:

Just curious as I have seen you post that before how close to the tracks are you?

It was maybe 3" as for age not sure but it was about the size that we let go in Ixtapa

well there is the tracks, then about 100 feet to the road, then the house behind me and mine, so 700ish feet I would guess.

Steve

Closer than you. Sometimes in the summer, it like someone is kicking your bed to wake you. :lol:. Stuff here and there vibrates. My granddaughters laugh at the earthquake....BUT...it never bothers my tank. I assume the larger one in the living room will be ok to.
