Okay well, Ocean Paradise was taken, so i picked Oceanparadise1. My name is some thing i came up with while brain storming names for a soon to be opened Fish store owned by me and my buddy :) its probably not going to be for a while, but hell,im only 24 so i have plenty of time. Its still in the very starting up stage, just planning it all out and making sure its done right before we take the plunge. My avatar, well you can tell, im a HUGE yankees fan(i support all my fellow NY teams :)) and i hate hate hate the red sox(well any boston team for that matter!)


So now its your guys turn!!:):D:p
 
I am still kinda new at this, would like an avatar of something...., the name is a name I made from Obiwan Kinobi and Okeefonokee swamp. I love that place and have been to the Stephan C. Foster park there outa Fargo, Ga many of times. I love that black water. So Star Wars fan and a swamper combined. I think there is a Darth Maul Pally or Zo? That should be my avatar, or a sea bass with a laser )
 
thesaent14 is because i love the moves about simon templer the saint but every time i try to get the user name some one have it so i change it a bit
 
My avatar is a pic of my nuclear greens but I change it from time to time. My name is simple I live for coral and my favorite number is 8 so I added the 88. Now that I’m thinking about it I might change my avatar pic soon I’ve had this one for a while.
 
Well I am waaaay into collector Favia's like the "Baby's Breath" and "Mia's Pot of Gold" etc. so that's why I came up with that name. As for my avatar, well that's my beautiful Cat "Peanut" lounging in the sun!
 
MarvinsReef... self explanatory.. ;)

my avatar.. my baby boy Emmanuel Vincent (Evin).. :D

Small world, I was a UAW worker in the spray booth at Newark Assembly Plant for 4 years, spraying base coat and clear coat, got out last year when they offered packages, glad I got out when I did because NAP is scheduled to be closed for good this December

I love the pic paintguru,it looks like a professional pic!
 
I chose the name because I was working on an ecotoxicology study at the time. My avatar is changed often but is currently a comic strip from the PhD comics and just is a poke at myself for being in grad school for so long.
 
I've got a few name but its eithier reefboy or tidalzone the name reefboy was given to me by a friend because believe it or not I grew up on a ranch and rodeo'd few years all the time reefing so a rodeo friend started calling me reefboy instead of cowboy as a joke and it stuck even had a few rodeo anouncer's called my name out as such at a few rodeo's being funny anyways tidalzone is after my maintenance company when reefboy cant be used.
 
That's cool :) what will you be studying oceanparadise1? I did my masters in Animal science (which was the above mentioned ecotox study) and am currently working on my PhD in biochemistry.
 
My first name is Jon and the first three letters of my last name are bar. On most forums I just use Jon in SW Ohio, can't remember why I chose jonbar1 for this forum LOL

The avatar is just my all time favorite coral, the Armageddons

The tag line below is just a reflection on the battle I've been fighting since I started this hobby. If it keeps one new reefer from putting this menace in their tank it's worth it

Back in my younger days...I was at a weekend outdoor music festival and the 4am camp talk turned to our would-be **** names. Mine ended up being Stix Baraca! My avatar is a picture I took of sunrise in Fort Lauderdale while on a cruise!
