I have been out of the reef hobby for a number of years but have been contemplating setting up a smallish office and possibly a home tank. But first I figured I'd see if there is any reefing community left here since this hobby definitely benefits from mutual support and interest. First, a little history. I actually formed this forum, along with Nate R and Vince E many, many moons ago. We originally formed it since there was at that time a bunch of fellow reefers in the southern tier. Previously, we were part of Upstate Reef Society but most of them were located in the Northern tier and so we figured we had enough local reefers to break off and start our own forum. Furthermore, I had organized a project to build a 180 gallon reef display at the Ross park Zoo. There was a tremendous group effort and we were quite successful in designing and installing a reef tank on a shoestring budget with the help of supplies donated from aquatics companies and livestock donated from local reefers as well as ABC Reefs in Syracuse. the project thrived for about 7 years but due to budget and manpower issues at then zoo, the display was dismantled.
Anyway... I was wondering if there is anybody left from those days or other reefers still actively engaged in the hobby, holding frag swaps etc.
