How do you know when you have been at this for too long?
When after you thought you threw everything out that you don't need, you have more than you started with.
Here are a few of the thiongs I just can't part with. I did not include 10 gallons of rock and three or four tanks.

Bill, I am glad I just threw all of that other stuff out. I only have one reef and a tiny experimental tank. I have stuff from fifty years ago. :lol2:

I am on a dumping spree and my two 40 gallon garbage cans are full.
Now I am working on large garbage bags. I get ambitious every few years and dump stuff. It's not all fish related, I got rid of computers, lap tops and a lot of electronics like all the stuff from sattelite TV and about a dozen cell phones.
I have enough tools to build a Space Shuttle. :eek2:
But you need to clean house occasionally to make more room for boat stuff which tends to be large. :beachbum:
Have a great day and lets try to fill up those garbage dumps
Paul

You need to have all of this stuff.
The white thing is my worm keeper.

Hmmm...strangest fish tank there, Paul! The glass is taller on the right side than on the left!

Yeah, it does look like that but that is from all the weight I put on there, the benchtop is sagging and making the tank un levil. It is just an experimental local animal tank which has been set up for decades.
