Hi All

Postby floydfan786 on Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:39 am

Hi all. Been a fish tank hobbyist for years. have had several fresh water tanks and that got boring. Well a couple coworkers got me interested in salt tanks, Reef talks to be exact. Well now I have a reef addiction worse than a drug habit. But then again, is that a bad thing? I have a 75 gal tank that has been set up since OCT 2009. It is new but with the help of the fine folks at Pet Advantage (Thanks Jason) the tank is starting to look good. Got some corals started and i can't get enough of this thing we call a Reef Tank!!!. Glad to find this site too. :D :D

Welcome aboard!!! Yes this is quite the addiction...er...hobby we have here isn't it ;). Please feel free to ask any questions you may have as more than likely somebody on here has been through any particular situation you may find yourself in. If you can't find the answers you're looking for you could always send Jason from Pet Advantage a personal message (his screen name is "Polchaetes are cool"). We love pics on here so make sure to get some of your tank/livestock and post them in the photos forum!!!
A case of beer: $15

Frag Mounting Supplies: $20

A high speed rotary tool: $30

Being able to frag a $300+ coral with a steady hand before you're too drunk and have super glued your fingers together...priceless!!!

Looks like you've made yourself right at home!
I see you have an avatar, a signature, found our chatroom, etc. Good to see :D

I'm in Barre right now, but will be in Huntington soon. We have quite a few "reefers" in the Barre area, so you have some good company. If you can, try and make the March meeting on the 20th. It will also be in Barre.

Well thank you for the welcome. I have a couple of coworkers who might be interested in joining.
Jason has already been a huge help at PA. Thank you Jason, we will be hitting you up for more corals and fish and most of all knowledge.
I saw the info about the Mach meeting. I will try to be there. I will just need directions.
As for pics, yes I have some, I will post soon. The tank has only been up since October, so it is very new, but starting to show life.
