Returning to the hobby

[wkopplin]

Hello,

Matt built my old skimmer years back. I cannot remember who built my refugium. I sold all my stuff to TXTodd, but am getting back into a tank. I was wondering if anyone can give me the names of people who build the following stuff just so I know who to contact:

Skimmers
Refugium - someone who works with acrylic
Stands and canopies

Also, if any of you guys are out there that I gave huge handfuls of pod laced macro's and live sand to are around, I would love some donations back at some point.

My new tank will be significantly smaller than the old monster.

Not sure who is still around from when I quit the hobby about 5 years ago, but hello to everyone.

Hi Blake

Jack with Cob's Corals/Wet Acrylic built my custom sump for my seahorse cube and I couldn't be happier with it. They are a sponsor store so you should find his info in the forums

Thanks, will check him out. Does anyone have Troy Valentine's contact information? I did, but I seem to have misplaced it.

[Europhyllia]

he's still active on here. you could probably just PM him
(he'll also be at the next reef social in August because he recently made TOTM )

[wkopplin]

I just found his info, sent him a pm too. Did not see he won TOTM. nice! Guess I need to send in my dues. Get that pesky Web Member title off me.

It was great visiting with you Blake. You are definitely one of the great ones of the hobby. Your logical approach to the hobby will be a real asset to the community.

Bobby,

Thank you sir. See you still have a monster FOWLR setup. Good to see. I will post some pics of my mini reef once I get it fully running.

Hi Blake, Welcome, back! We (My Husband & I ) have tons of Chaeto if you would like some.. Its filled to its bounty with life.

I am in the process of figuring out how I am going to setup my fuge. I am leaning towards an external side tank fuge. Fill it with all the junk I can find and let it be my filter. I appreciate the offer and will take you up on the Chaeto. I am a refugium nut, I like 'em better than the display tank and have done all sorts of "experiments" with different setups. In the end I have found that the more diversity in the refugium, the better the health of the main tank. I miss my old fuge, I wonder who owns it now, I would like it back.....
