For anyone wanting a walk down memory lane, I’ve run across episodes of “Guppies to Groupers” on a PBS affiliate website. For the many of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, “Guppies to Groupers” was a PBS program in the mid 70’s hosted by Paul Spiece promoting and providing education on the aquarium hobby.
I’m 64 years old and received my first aquarium when I was 8 or 9. I lived in an area where we were fortunate, if you can call it that, to receive the TV signal from the local ABC, NBC and CBS affiliates. Our closest PBS station was too distant. I only knew of “Guppies to Groupers” by the description in TV Guide. Years later I was finally able to watch the episodes and for whatever reason during a sleepless period last night it popped into my head. It’s really enjoyable to be reminded of how the hobby was when I was first introduced to it. I used most of the equipment shown at one time or another and seeing a corner box filter really takes me a back to a piece of my childhood.
