Tell me about yourself

[brett559]

This is my favorite page on the forum. I check this section multiple times a day. I got into this hobby for the fish (I mean, we all did....but there are fish guys and coral guys). Anyway, I'd like to learn a little more about some of the people that I "interact" with almost every day.

Been in the aquarium hobby since about 1972, marine/reefs since 1988. Took a break from 2009-2012 before aforementioned two sons convinced me to get a tank again swearing that they'd help (though, truth be told, it didn't require a great deal of arm twisting ) I think we all know how THAT worked out.
