New from -West Chester
« on: November 13, 2009, 21:35:02 »
Hi all,

I had freshwater for years as a kid, then got another one when my kids were 2-3 to get back into it.  Now the Girls are 4, 7, 9  (thats right lucky me with 3 girls)and eager to learn more so we needed to get the floors re-done.....sold everything I had and found a killer deal on CL and dove in. I am starting from ground Zero with SW...know nothing more than the basic basics.

I have a 72 Bowfront coralife lights 10K and Atinic Blue, west dry filtration, skimmer. Chocked full of live rock.  Got a cleaner crew in it the first week, then added pair of clowns the next, it had a six line wrasee, then a coral beauty angel to help with algea.

I am a Regional Sales Manager at a machine tool company in Cinci, OH

I plan to join the group and try to start making the meetings and learning.

Where abouts in West Chester are you from, my cousin lives in quail run, and my brother used to live in liberty township which is also really close to there.
If you didn't know I'm kind of a big deal...

I live in tylers crossing off of tylersville and Cin-Day.

I really want both some fish and corals. I have had FW fish in the past and kinda did that, but I must admit after seeing my new frags open up today its like a hook being set in my mouth, its super interesting and the more I read the more I like it.  So... im not sure yet.

Tonight I picked up a canopy from a LFS at a hell of a deal.  Next DYI LED to hide in there.  Do you guys think I should paint it black?  I likda like the look but the wife hates it!  So you know what that means.
