Howdy from So. Cal

Lbrdsoxfan · Jun 13, 2021

Just wanted to say hello to my fellow aquarist. I'm a LONG time lurker, finally a first time poster.

I am currently running a newish 4ft 120gal tank and I'm easing into the coral side of things. I was more of a Fowler guy for years on various previous tanks (60 gal, 180 gal, 30 gal aio, 50 gal cube and back to a 120gal) but much like everyone else, Covid changed the game for me, majorly in terms of learning and adjusting to life of running a reef tank (since I had time to learn). So... Long story short, looking forward to meeting, chatting and learning! Photo is of the current 120gal started in March.

Cheers,
Court

Thanks, I believe in variety. There's a Longnose Hawkfish, Sixline wrasse, striped Blenny and some Cardinal fish somewhere and a evil 'mater female clownfish... Most are migrated fish from the 30 gal and 50 gal I was running.

The Pads are trending in the right direction, so you should be proud to rep them, it's crazy that the NL west is so competitive this year! I'm a LONG way from home, Red Sox baseball is in my blood, I don't know any better!

I've been a Pads fan since I didn't know any better. In years where they do pretty good it feels odd
