Introductions

[COreefer]

I have an idea...to make this forum more personal, I suggest we nail this thread to the top of the page with introductions of members, new members, and prospective members. This way we can learn more about one another and our goals in the hobby.

Here is the criteria all of which is optional...

Name:
Age:
Occupation:
Tanks and sizes:
Where you live i.e. I live in Peyton
Years in the hobby:
Specific interests, i.e. I like to keep lionfish
Greatest accomplishment in reefkeeping:
Greatest disapointment in reefkeeping:
Pictuers of your tank (optional)

This is a start anyway...before we nail the thread to the top, it can circulate and others can tweak it, add to it or whatever, and maybe by Wed we can start filling the info in. What do you guys think??

Im somewhat new to RC and dont know to many people here. I would like to find reefers close to where I live to trade and sell and to check out some other tanks. So this sound like an excelent idea!

Are you limiting this to SCMAS members or to all people in the hobby?

 

[COreefer]

The idea is to have everyone who posts here create a record of themselves so that others who surf the forums and don't post (or do post) can have an idea of who each individual is in Southern Colorado; thus, making the forum a little more personable...

 

[Mustang394]

Was hoping you would say that. Will probably get a larger response.

I think it is a great idea for people to have a better idea of whom they are conversing with.
