LeRoy passed a bit back, and their website is still unnavigable.

origreefer · 03/27/2014, 04:08 PM

I was an early member but then moved, changed emails, and something happened where I couldn't log on under my orig account, sO I was forced to rejoin and lose my "seniority". :-)

I also remember buying wild Florida live rock from you. I loved all those brittle stars, rock boring urchins, etc. Still have the rock in my system.

Its amazing how time flies. I checked out RC in 99, and saw it as a "budding" community that didn't have a lot of traffic. I stayed on Reefs.org, fishnet, aqua link all of those old sites and didn't join RC until 2001. There just wasn't much "to be bothered" with back then. Now, RC is the Cream of the Crop.

origreefer · 03/28/2014, 12:45 PM

I have a binder somewhere with fishnet talks, etc. Oh how high speed internet has changed the world.

Good Lord, that was funny.
Great to see you Randy.

With all the oldies here, do you guys remember Iwasaki 65k bulbs being the halide bulb to use? Man those bulbs were really yellow but grew sps like crazy. I too was on RDO but forgot my user name.

I also remember Fishnet, but I remember when they invented transistors and color TV. I carried my rock home from Hawaii on my lap in the plane in 1974.

David Grigor · 12/20/2014, 07:22 PM

I'm 1/31/2000. Not sure where you guys are finding your ID#. In early 2000s was a moderator here.

I've had a tank the whole time since 1999 but stay mostly in our local forum tcmas.org. Mostly intereted in the Chemistry forums in recent years, don't really browse anywhere else.

I started the hobby in 1996 about the same time I got internet. Aqualink is where is spent most of my time in my early days of this hobby.

Agu and LarryM ( one of the co-founders ) were also early founders/members of our local tcmas.org. Agu got some crazy idea to move to FL. Can't imagine why he didn't think MN was paradise.

Ive at least made it 10 years (and have kept a reef tank up and running the entire time - I still have some of my original livestock). Less than a thousand posts though, so I guess I must talk less than some of you guys.
