Tazdevil Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have had a reef for about 8 years getting a little sick of the upkeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfbasser Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Fifty years ago I bred dwarf sea horses in a pickle jar and have had aquariums ever since. I have always kept away from reef tanks because of the work involved. If you have a lot of time go for it.

go4broke44 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I used to have a bunch of reef tanks, 75gal was the big one. Unfortunately theres something in the boston water that makes hair algae grow like crazy! I used to DI filter my water, never could get the HA to not grow, although I probably should have been doing more water changes, or something like that. Â I would like to start another one in my office though, maybe a 10g, just have to get around to doing it though. SOL #13275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradW Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I raised Sea Men that I ordered through a comic book add. Â that just doesn't sound right...

jfbasser Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I wonder if it is possible to hire a reef tank maintenance service.

ToddMan Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 who would do that type of work? It hardly seems like there would be an adequate supply of work to keep busy and make some $$. <*)))><Stan Gibbs Cape Cod Canal Fishermans Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfbasser Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Maybe there are some folks that do it part-time ?
