Hello,
I too, was directed to introduce myself so here I am. :mrgreen:
Let's see, I am 32, 5'6" , slender, train Dressage horses and German Shepherds, own a farm, work for an IT company, and am single.
Oh wait....you meant to introduce myself in relation to FISH!
Well in that case, I have had an assortment of freshwater tanks all of my life at varying times. Never anything bigger than a 10 gallon. This will be my first saltwater tank and I am already addicted and thinking about my future 210 gallon built into the wall of my future (when I win the lottery) home.
For now though, I have a small mobile home on my land so a 46 gallon will have to suffice. I just set it up a month ago. I currently have both live and artificial rock in the tank. The artificial will be replaced with live soon. It cycled quickly and well which I personally think is because I have a well that is tapped into the Zephyrhills aquifer (sp?). You know, as in the same spring they use to bottle Zephyrhills water.
So, I did not go crazy on buying crabs. I have 4 scarlets, 4 blue leg, and 2 snails. Just this week after being given mis-information I thought that Mandarin Gobies (dragonets) were bottom/algae eaters. So logically I thought I was doing the right thing to build the tank from bottom/docile up. So, now I am working to feed my unnamed Goby, have copepods in the tanks, supped him with brine shrimp and have an order of copepods on it's way to me. I plan on this being a quiet tank as I am crazy and want to 'adopt' a bred pair of mustangs in the future. I also have one rock anemone that hitch hiked in on one of the live rocks and bought a coral this week that now I can't remember the name of (kind of looks likea bubble coral with stalks)
I am sure I am going to have some "victims" along the way in my learning process but hopefully by being here I can keep them to a minimum.
So, that's me in a nutshell. :bounce:
