ReefMon November 7, 2008 Share November 7, 2008 Hello old friends! I figured I'd drop in and let those who are still around from the early days of WAMAS that I'm still around but have moved away from reefkeeping. For those that remember, my 180 reef suffered a catastrophic crash while we were working the MACNA here in DC. At that time I was also working extreme hours and traveling extensively. I made the decision that restarting the tank was not in the best interest of either the inhabitants or myself & my family, so the big tank went dark as well as my other systems. During the same time, I became very involved in the complete restoration of a cruising sailboat up in Maine. Since then my available free time has increased and I committed myself to the first part of a life long dream, to own and restore my own bluewater cruising boat. So in other words, I've traded my box of water into a box in the water. Here are a few photos of my 2000 gallon hole in the water: The next step is to take her down to the islands, so I can have real reefs as my backyard! Happy Reefing!

Coral Hind November 7, 2008 Share November 7, 2008 Glenn, Back in the day I was jealous of your 180, now I'm jealous of the new boat. She looks sweet! What did you name her? David formerly "prevyet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller November 7, 2008 Share November 7, 2008 Hi Glenn, We sure had a blast putting on MACNA didn't we? I think of all the fun we had making those kalk reactors in my work shop. Love the boat. I spend some of my time fixing up the '29 model A trucks we own. Talk to you soon. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
