Hey SDReefs!

After almost 10 years of spending most of my time up in the Bay area, I'm back in town for good. I am still working for Neptune Systems (now Aperture Pet & Life), still doing IT and engineering work, but in a fully remote role.

I currently have a Waterbox 130.3 running here. That was just tons 'o fun to move from my office up in Morgan Hill. LOL. It's FO at this time - I gave away all my corals (except a 'nem) to colleagues before I did the tank move. Sadly, and surprisingly, that beautiful big Black Widow-like 'nem did not survive the tank relocation 😢.

Just perusing some latest posts, I see some familiar folks are still around - Peter, Dan, Daveocean, Chris, to name a few I saw. Any other old-timers still active?

Are there any local clubs still in existence? Someone told me at RAP last fall that there are none these days.
 
SDMA is still kicking. Check them out on FB. Other than that not a whole lot that I have seen.

Ive been around for 20 years or so but never got the pleasure of meeting you. Welcome back! Working for neptune... whats up with the Trident Np? I want one but have seen countless issues with it. Any insider info?!
 
Hey, welcome back! We restarted SDMA club but unfortunately can’t post about events on sdreefs so please follow the Facebook or sign up for our email list on the website.

Still a great community on here and a ton of people growing nice corals.

Dang a blast from the past. We left San Diego in 2016 and reside in Florida now. Im currently in the process of building a new small system to see if i want to go all in or not.
 
Welcome back Russ we never met face to face but you helped me out a lot on Neptune Systems Community.

Hey Russ! Hope all is well. I've still got my fingers wet with my FO. I don't miss the reef lol.
