Iwasaki 10k MH Bulbs.

I’ll post some old books that I still have on the future.

Other things:

Sander skimmers
Lights of America Flood Lights (we used these for fuges)
Iwasaki 6.5k MH
 
Little Giant 4MD. I think they still make them but these are 30+ years old. One is high pressure, one is high flow.

Marine Fish Monthly magazine - I used to have a ton of issues from the early 1990's and 2000's and got rid of them many years ago. I kind of regret doing that now.

Is FAMA still published? Same as MFM, I had a ton and got rid of them.
 
This post brings back memories from the good old days. I had the Oceanic Skimmer, Little Giant pumps, Vortex Diatom filter.
I actually picked up that skimmer a while back for $25 on ebay. I had the Model 4 back in the day.
 
How about this one that just popped into my head. I remember setting up my first reef tank and going to a local lighting store to buy "daylight" NO fluorescent bulbs to put into the modified shop lights I had over the tank.

That tank also had a homemade trickle filter made from plastic trays with holes drilled in the bottoms, each filled with crushed coral and were stacked one on top of the other so the water could "trickle" down through them and over the crushed coral.

Same here. I had every year and I think farther back than that. I did save two issues: a anniversary issue and Mini reef 2. I think these are 1987 and 1988.

That was a fun weekend. Technobuyer (Dwayne), Phillstone (Phil), Carlos (well Carlos of course), Therman (Tim), Nanook (Dave) and I hanging out for a weekend.

Okay, enough trips down memory lane for now. Gotta get back to work.

D brought Diver Dan to Imac once. Adventured continued.

I saw Carlos at Macna a few weeks ago. I was supposed to go out to dinner with the whole Coralvue crew but time ran out to set up their booth and it got late. Phil was supposed to go with us. I have not seen Phil since he moved. He still is close. He has been out of the hobby a long time. Last time I saw D was at Phils's house for a bonfire.
 
An oldie about some mags.

 
I knew this was out there somewhere.

 
Went through my bookshelf in the basement.

Anyone remember Dr. Emmens?
