Hi everyone,

Well like the title says I am a new member to the forum. I have kept fresh water fish for years and have finally ventured into saltwater. I have had my 40 gallon breeder set up for about 6 months now. I have a wonderful assortment of zoanthids, sps, and lps growing in the tank.

I am an avid soccer player, coach, referee, and spectator. I am a goalkeeper. I also have coached a recreational youth soccer team all the way to third place in northern California's Founders cup. I play the alto and baritone saxophone. I am 17 and am going to be a senior in high school.

Your truly,
Kenny:fish1::lolspin:
 
Welcome Kenny! Wow, I think your the second youngest reefer I have known (first was 16 in norcalreefclub). Well, you just missed a meeting but we will have another meeting in a month and a half pending the date. I'm taking it your local meaning sonoma county? If you have any questions we have a GREAT club to answer or to help you find an answer to your need. Looking forward to your posts and meeting you.
 
Welcome welcome! Come attend our meetings!

Since you are a senior, it will be a shame if you need to break down your tank next year. Hope you stay in the area to keep your reef tank up and keep partying with us. ;)

Well I wont have to tare anything down because my mom likes it so she will keep it up and running for me. Unfortunantly I will probably be going to oregan or souther cali for school.
 
Another Petaluman here. Welcome Kenny. I used to play tenor sax. Back in the stone age. Even cut a record.

It was an ancient form of analog communication. When not wall painting, my fellow cavemen would gather around a microphone and the sounds we made would end up physically etched into disks of soft plastic, 12" across. Then later one could spin the disk at a very precise rate, and lower a tiny crystal mounted on a wee wiggly piece of metal. The stylus would track the grooves, the current generated from its movements would be amplified, and we'd end up hearing our grunts and hollers just like the day we made them.

And as one kept playing it, the vinyl would get scratched, and dirt would get in the grooves, and play quality would degrade with lots of clicks and pops until the original source could barely be discerned. And if not stored properly, the round platters would warp until the needle couldn't track the groove and would end up skipping from groove to groove resulting in very repetitive and possibly hilarious variations on the original content. And when no longer worth playing, the disks could be used like Frisbees for additional fun and gratification.

Plus the vinyl disks were housed in cardboard sleeves that were printed with the most fantastic cover art on the front and words on the back. The sleeves could be used for other things too. I heard tell of some clans using them to assist with removing seeds from what we now call medicine, for example.
