Well, I only started so I am working with a FOWLR tank for now and will look into the reef tank in the future.. :D

As for the rest I am a; Systems Analyst for Telehealth in Ontario, a Volunteer Fire Fighter in my local community, enjoy skiing, biking, walking, and roller coasters of every shape and size. I will get my kids hooked on the coasters when they are big enough to actually ride the good ones for now I have to settle on the kids coasters to get em started.

My kids are my favorite past time and they are really enjoying helping me with the Fish tank. We sit and watch it when i get home from work for about 15 mins then we test the water and after that we can go and play.

Hi all...

I've been into marine tanks for almost 20 years. (I started keeping reefs 3 years ago)...I set up my first one at the age of 15....I've always found it a fascinating hobby....and everytime I think I have it mastered, I learn something new that helps me improve my skills as a marine tank keeper!( and keeps me humble.....)

Other than reef tanks....
I'm married, and I have a 3 year old son...he loves my reef tank....except the clam, he's scared of it... :roll:

I work as a Civil Engineering tech/ Survey crew cheif for the DOT, building highways....

Living in Wyoming, I'm an avid outdoorsman...I love hiking, backpacking, 4x4'ing, rockhounding. I love to fish...streams and rivers in the spring, summer, and fall, ice fishing in the winter! I used to hunt, but I haven't in many years. Now that I have a son, I'll probably get back into it so I can teach him when he is old enough. (if he wants to, of course! )

I'm also a "speed freak"....I love anything that goes fast...I snowmobile, I have a pair of nasty jetskis that get a lot of use in the summer, and I love musclecars and sportscars. My current "project" is a '97 Pontiac TransAm LT1 set up for autocross and drag racing. I'm looking for another old musclecar for a restoration project also.

well, that about sums it up.....

Hello!!

I am a newbie with a capital "N". I had FW tanks for 15 or so years but then kind of quickly switched to SW because my youngest son thought it would be neat! I obviously did not know what I was getting into. But I'm learning and I love it.

Other than trying to take care of my fish, I take care of my husband and kids. I have been a stay-at-home mom for the last 20 years, talk about going nuts at times. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. My kids (all boys) are older now, 19, 17 & 14 yrs. but all still at home, so they keep me hopping. They are all involved in sports (golf, baseball, soccer) and I do everything I can to be at every event they participate in. I never realized how far a golfer has to walk until I started following my middle son when he took it up in high school. But I love it! We also love the water and have a jet ski and the boys love snowboarding. I did until a couple of years ago and I broke my tailbone, ouch!! Now I'm the offical photographer. So, when I'm not playing mom I do volunteer work at the school and am active in my church. I love to workout, ride bikes, play volleyball, photography, and am trying to take up golf. In a house of all men, if you can't beat them, join them. So I do, in everything they do.

Well, that's about all there is to me. Not real exciting, but in this family, that's good. When things get exciting around here, it usually means trouble!! :rockon:

well, im in highschool, sort of. I do all my schoolwork online, so i dont have to put up with the harrasment of the jocks and just plain stupid people

My fathhr is a preacher, though currently without a church. we do however, attend a local church very faithfully. At this church, i have begun working with the kids, i do puppets. and i picked up my girlfriend, Angel, who i am now quite unable to function without. I also do most heavy lifting( the price you pay for being young and in fairly decent shape)
I am also trying to learn as much as possible about the inner workings of computers, and my sister is in school for IT(information technology) so I frequently "borrow" her books.
IO am searching for a job, cause this hobby needs a nice hefty cashflow:)
