About 4 years ago I started working at the museum and was put in charge of a 1200g tank and a few other 'small' 90, 120 and 180g tanks. NO SWEAT!
In retrospect I wasn't nearly as terrified as I should have been, but did realize that I had a lot to learn. Relatively early on I found ReefCentral and was pointed in the direction of the URS here. I learned an awful lot from you guys, and for the last three years or so this forum has been the homepage of my computer at work and even though I haven't met each of you face to face (though many I have) I feel like I got to know you all over time. Many of you were very generous with time, knowledge and at times even gifts of one sort or another. For this I want to say thank you.
The night I hosted the frag swap and behind the scenes tour of our new 1700g system was a true highlight for me, getting to meet and share my tank with so many interesting folks is something that will stay with me for a very long time.
Unfortunately my position was eliminated at the museum and I have been laid off. I don't have any personal tanks of my own so my 'need' for the forum has been drastically reduced and my presence here will be reduced to match. I'm sure I'll pop in every now and again, but certainly not in the same context. Someday I might even start my own tank, but that day is still off in the distance.
One last final plug... thanks to Tom at the Reef Shoppe who put up with me and helped me learn for the last 3 years.
So thanks again to everyone. Happy Reefing!
Cheers,
Tad
