I thought this was MONSTERfishkeepers

I was wondering when a comment like that was going to come in. I have been tempted myself but held back.
These threads have been popping up for years. It always comes down to the same thing, passion (on both sides) which is a great problem to have. We aren't here to compare tank size, we are here to learn and discuss (hence the name forum). We meet people at various stages in their hobby. Y'all might be talking down to the kid who may make your definition of "monster" embarrassing one day.. Now is the time to pull members in, not kick them out.
For fun I dug out some old pics from the "under your cabinet" sticky.
When I first joined a decade ago: (46 gallon bowfront with a sweet grenade decoration lol)
Where I left off last night plumbing a new growout tank...
Had I been restricted when I first joined due to my largest tank being a 46 bowfront, I couldn't learn from or be teaching others. Pics speak louder than words. The above may never have happened without MFK and the killer people I've met here.
Would love to see a FB group walk someone through a build like this with any level of continuity...

that new setup is dope. is that black round ball like a mini moving bed filter of some kind?
Looks like an ultima filter. Nothing mini about that! Lol
right i looked them up just now. lol how big is that "growout" tank,
240 gallon cube - 48"x48"x24". This was a nasty CL tank my son and I restored.
Hello; I have never kept salt water tanks so when a thread is from the saltwater section I almost never read it. I do sometime read if the title is of interest. I also do not post as I have no experience to draw on.
I also have little experience plumbing very large tanks so I usually do not post on those type threads.
In fact it is likely that of the very many threads on the forum, I read what is likely a small percentage. I self select in that I pick areas of an interest to me. It does not bother me that there are threads about gars, rays, saltwater and any other topic. I just do not open them. Maybe some day I will develop an interest in one of these areas as my path thru the hobby has varied in the past.
I do not like brussel sprouts but do not mind them being in the supermarket.
