Cool story and welcome to R2R!

Indecision may or may not be my problem.
Welcome to R2R! 
I'm sure he's a peach. I'm more like a prune. Or a Fig Newton.
Thanks! R1R was so lame but i'm optimistic about 2.0. I grew up a Korean War era Army brat so I speak entirely in acronyms. It made my assimilation into the text-borg PDQ. Kthxbai.
I still am afraid to get oil finger on the MH bulb and break the vinegar water out quick, spray it off and wipe down as if it was a bar of gold.
Farewell and adieu to ye sweet Spanish ladies....
Absotutely. It's a revamped custom built tank at 94-ish gallons. I've been sourcing parts for it for the past year. Is there a tank journal thread section? Of course there's a tank journal thread section.
Oh, the gas we pass.
lol ... I met him when we where just kids in our 20’s mullet and all, he was working at a reef shop not to far from me.. I remember we attended a start up reef club meeting together and there where only like 5 people there as reefing hadn’t really caught on yet
I met him once in the 90's when he was promoting his Sprung & Delbeek reef books at a convention. Nice guy. Unassuming.
I used to write for Howard Cosell. In my mind.
I was just thinking, "is this a Paul B alter or does he have a younger brother?"
Welcome @OPtasia ! Look forward to you sharing your expertise with us. (from another older than dirt but much less experienced reefer).
I yam what I yam. I claim no affiliation with those named after biblical events.
Welcome home, you will love it here!
Let’s see some tank pics! I already like your sense of humor, my team secures reverse mortgages for those people that remember using metal halides!
Glad to have ya!
Oh wow. Yeah, i'll post some tank pics shortly. My profile pic are of zoas and acans in our biocube if that counts, which i'm sure it doesn't.
Ps: How many points of origination do I have to pay on my own equity?
Dilly dilly.
I have an even cooler story. When I proposed to my Wife, I took her up to Atlanta, GA to the GA aquarium. There, while riding the people mover cruising through the giant whale shark tube tank, I got down on one knee and asked her that very special question. There we were. Aquarium heaven. Big whale sharks. Big engagement ring. So when I asked, "will you marry me?" people started to clap. There were smiles. Much cheering. And my loving Wife turned to me, looked down at me on one knee and said, "Oh GOD not in front of all these people!!!"

Welcome @OPtasia! I too experienced the pleasure of multiple 400W 10K Ushios with actinic VHO sunburns! I had so many different bulbs laying around because I just couldn't settle on which one I liked...

That depends on if you're dealing with a broker or the OG lender. Also depends on a myriad of other factors!
We would have to reduce your fees so you could purchase some LED fixtures!
Yes work on those photos!
I like the way you think old timer.
Mary Ellen Moffait. She broke my heart. Mhahahahaha.
Seriously though, there's very few films I could come into the middle of a showing and begin quoting dialogue to it. Jaws is one of them.
Welcome to R2R from one old fart to another! Love the username!
Thanks! Us old farts gotta stick together.... mmm I wanna linger.... mmm a little longer...
10K Ushios? Fancy. I mostly used Hamilton Tech bulbs and retrofit kits at 6,500 k with Icecap ballast/end caps for actinic coralife VHO's. I never went in for the Japanese or the German bulbs.

The day I have to mortgage anything for a reef tank will be the day I give up the hobby. I don't care how much that rainbow jawbreaker is. It's not worth a house. Well... maybe if my quick picks for megaball pay off this week.
Welcome to R2R, your already a great asset to this community
If this is a community that values good natured smart ***** like me, well that's your loss. Seriously, I thought you people were better than this.
Thanks!

Of course I have room for 1 more fish!

Welcome to the forum!
I am old enough that I am using pill boxes for each day of the week, but not old enough to have morning, noon, and dinner pill boxes.

Sign me up!
... but, are you old enough to be taking medications to relieve the side effects of your other medications yet? If not, your farting has only matured to middle age.
I'm totally down for it. I think we need an O.F.R. patch that we can sew onto the pockets of our bowling shirts and/or golf hats. Make it a tombstone shape.

I only have 1 question........
Are your fish immune?
