Nice to finally be able to log in.
Last "regular" job, Fish feed supervisor feeding 3.5 million salmon. Now that's a feed bill."

My first post I was buy out people's tanks and selling. Made some decent money. The best one was $200 got me 7 tanks skimmers fish and 400lbs rock.

2001, still complaining about no prices

Wow, I actually introduced myself. I figured I would be complaining about prices as well. Or at least lack of price tags.

Looks like my first post under fishoholic was Dec 30 2007 but that doesn't make sense cause if I signed up May 2007 there should of been posts from May/07 maybe I searched wrong for my 1st post :noidea: Denny if you can find it post it for me please.

However I was posting under my ex's account for a long time before I started my own. I think (not 100% sure) this was my first ever post on canreef

Sept 30 2006

If not that one then for sure this one April 15 2007:

All it says is PM sent I was looking to buy something. LOL

First post in may 2009..

It was a wickedfrags group order that we were trying to put together. To this day I am still waiting for that group order to happen..

The question was: What is your tap water TDS in your area?

Wholley crap thats awhile ago. :lol:

First post
 

Well, after lurking in the background for so long, I thought this would be as good a time as any for my first post.

Hello everybody.
We started our first saltwater tank on Jan. 1, 2012. A mixed reef 120 gallon with sump. First fish in March.
Going slowly and trying to figure things out.

Welcome to Canreef!

:welcome:

Welcome aboard.

I think this was my first ever post and thread for that matter.

Oct 24, 2009

That's my first post! It always seems to be problems that bring people to this forum!:biggrin:

Welcome to the forum! :)



This was my first post... those all seem like silly questions now.. :lol:

Ah ha I found it May 2 2007

Where has those 11 years gone?

11-14-2001 07:08 PM

It's pretty amazing that this forum still has content from that long ago. Some forums that I've been on would have DB crashes and no backup to recover from.

wow guys reading all these posts some over 10 yrs ago , i gotta kudos to you guys for being around so long you all obviously have a passion for the hobby that has outlasted alot of other reefers:)


now i spose the next thread should be how much do you all think you spent in your reefing career lol we wont go there lol


keep em coming guys!!

My first post over 10 years ago was to Tony (Delphinus)

March 1, 2002

Hey Delphinus,

I'm new to this whole canreef thing. There is absolutely nobody in Edmonton that does reefkeeping (well I know a few) so that's why I'm in the Calgary discussion (my home-town is Calgary) I had a microbubble problem for quite some time....annoying isn't it? Do you run an inline pump or submersible one? I find that if it's an inline pump...silicone anywhere that draws water in...it might not leak, but it's sucking a tiny bit of air from somewhere. it worked for me, but took quite a while before I could silicone everything and finally overcome the problem.

This appears to be the very first post ever on Canreef:

Strange that Titus isn't the first poster. Not sure, Troy may have been the first staff member?? Anyone remember?

isn't this the first post? http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=5

Looks like. And Troy was the first staff.

Man, Doug has been around a long time!

thread id is 1 for mine and 5 for yours. a post in thread 5 cannot be older than the first post in thread 1. :biggrin:

Titus actually has the second post.

http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2

you can use a thread(t) id or post(p) id to find stuff.

That's an interesting observation but the dates seem to suggest it's possible. Maybe something wonky happened when posts were migrated to vbulletin from .. um .. whatever it was before it was vbulletin... phpbb or something?

hey you're right the dates don't jive with the ids in the db.

i know for a fact titus will explain that if he sees this lol.

And Naesco!
