Well when you have to search through pages to find your tank thread it's time for an update lol. I know I pulled a chuck Norris lately and have been Mia but I'm still around unless I get eaten by a bear in Algonquin . Anyway even tho I lost a couple things while being caught up in all the madness majority has been growing like a weed so here's how things are looking at the moment.

 

[scubasteve]

Still no water change pushing the boundary of reefing everyday

I remember when all the haters said it wasn't possible (AP that banned me first week for saying what I was gonna do is possible). They need to read more books and get off the net as for this forum everyone was interested and kman boost of support for sure helped. Gotta love the friendly tft crowd. No wonder more and more people come here and stay here. ITS THE BEST .

WOW I still cant believe that you don't do WC but your results speak volumes.

joy of keeping an online log plus when you look at a pic of an sps frag from 6 months ago that you thought barely grew and realize it doubled in size is always a good feeling

Well after many years on this site and even more in this hobby this year will be my last . Over the next month I will be going to check out and decide what large chunk of land in the middle of nowhere will become my new home and start the construction of a log cabin. Currently I'm in the process of completing my ORCKA canoe instructor certifications so that I can become a legal canoe and backpacking guide/instructor and shortly after that hunting and fishing as well once I jump through all the hoops for the government.

Being 8-10 hrs away and off grid it just doesn't make sense to attempt to move a tank and spend an extra $5000 on even more solar panels since my power is pretty much just going to be for fridge, freezer and some lights. I have been trying to get my backside back to the country for too long and now it is finally time. People think I'm crazy for wanting to live in the middle of nowhere but it's ok I think all you are even more crazy for wanting to stay in or close to a city lmao

One thing is for sure I'm gonna miss all you TFT addicts lol

 

[TORX]

I do not think you are crazy. Do what you have a passion for. You know where it will take you. Sorry that one of the sacrifices is this hobby, but you will be picking up so much more.

Wow!

That's awesome Steve. Takes a lot of courage to do what you're doing and giving up the comforts of city life. But you'll be gaining so much more!

Sorry to hear ya leaving tft and this hobby. But congrats on chasing your dreams!

So no internet, no TV, no radio...
Just you and your knife?

Realistically our tanks are just a way for us to have a slice of nature in our lives when we are surrounded by concrete...that's why I like my tanks wild and overgrown with all manner of things...not all ordered and manicured with everything divided into pest...not pest...designer...etc.

You will not be needing that taste of the wild..... What you need to replace your tank with is a nice glass and chrome cabinet with some fine crystal glasses and a couple of bottles of single malt whiskey and cognac so you can have a taste of civilization every once in awhile.

When my Mother first started her career with the National Fisheries Research Board, she was a field biologist and lived in the bush in far Northern Ontario for much of the year gathering data and doing surveys...tents, small trailers...minimal power mainly for instrumentation and equipment....she says there was nothing like it....

Enjoy!!!

 

[derrick orosz]

good luck Steve, hopefully we see you back here someday
