Hello from Pittsburgh, PA

[SK360]

Hello... FNG here.

My name is Matt, I am from Pittsburgh PA. Just starting to get starting in the SW side of the hobby, have been in the FW side of things for over a year with our 38g FW tank.

Currently working on setting up a 20g FOWLR (for now, until I get my feet wet) in our home office. Have most of the parts on hand, just waiting for a few things to start cycling. Will post a build thread when I get a second.

We are currently aggressively saving for our upcoming wedding (Sept 2013) so I have been under a tight budget, would like to go bigger eventually but I have too many other expensive hobbies as well :bigsmile:.

This is my other expensive hobby.....

Looking forward to being a part of this community and learning along the way with this new exciting journey.

Thanks guys. Been considering what LFS to frequent for this journey. I have been dealing with Aquaworld for my FW tank and not had a bad thing to say about them.

Awesome. At one time I had friends locally with a Gen 2 V Wagon, Coupe and Sedan, we all came from having 04-06 GTO's. The friend with the Sedan totaled it a few months back but my friends with the coupe and wagon still have theirs. I drove the wagon back from a funeral in Washington DC, very nice vehicle. If I needed the practicality I would have a wagon or sedan instead of the C6.... that's a few years off.

My C6 and his Wagon the day he brought it home.

Another old GTO friend.... ended up in a Volt. lol.
