What is it with bonsai people and reef tanks? There seems to be an unusually strong correlation between interest in tiny trees and sea life.

On the other hand I'm extremely bad at it and have no fantasy at all, so I used my real name.

 

[Javaman4373]

Java was the name of a setter I had and 4373 is the approximate longitude and lattitude of where I live.

I had a PBT when I first got started. Great fish and unfortunately it had ick and didn’t survive. Now I have a 2-spot bristletooth, not as exciting, but still a cool tang.

Nice!
I still have my custom 100g acrylic tank standing on end in the corner of a spare bedroom.
Also have 2 Lifereef sumps, one is a custom 41” I would be happy to part with.
The Lifereef skimmers sold very quickly. Never put the sumps up for sale.
I have a couple of videos of the sump that cleans up after itself if you have any interest.
I’m more than happy to be rid of the money pit.

My username has been a go to for everything since around 2004. I don't remember what it was for, maybe my DeviantArt page, Gmail beta, or a skateboarding forum. Maybe even goes back to 2000 and was my StarCraft handle... Whatever it was "PigPen" was already taken, and that's what I came up with. Between working on cars, being a ceramicist, my hygiene, love of outdoors or my sense of humor it kinda works for everything. The hardest part these days is I am not all that much of a kid.

 

[vesper818]

Another longtime hobby is astronomy, and my favorite telescope is a heavily modified Swift 818 refractor. Scopes, like some peoples trees, are named, mine are Vesper, Compline, Nocturn and Celeste.
Just kept the username to plug in over here...

Before bonsai, I had a 75 salt reef with all five species of dwarf lionfish, numerous soft corals, and polyps. At the time, I also had a 37 with a splendid toadfish and a stonefish. The toadfish could send you to the emergency room, but the stonefish could send you to the morgue. I received many questions about why my collection was compromised of venomous and poisonous species. I got stuck by one of the dwarf lions while cleaning the tank, and it made your regular bee sting seem like a mosquito bite. My index finger looked like a bratwurst for about a week.

And I thought my idea of poison oak bonsai was edgy.
