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...
