Long time lurker first time poster.

absltzer0 · Jan 30, 2023

Hi all! I have been lurking this place for a very long time but never made an account. Then decided to in 2021 and never got around to making a post. I have had reef tanks for 20 years with a couple of small gaps. I worked in the industry for a long time as well. I don't have anything to share now, but hopefully in the coming months I will start posting about our latest project. It feels good to be out of the shadows!

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you will have LOTS to share with your 20 years of varied experiences! You will fit right in here.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you in Rochester Hills:

Welcome! Everyone has something to share, especially since you've been in the hobby for 20 years off and on - sounds like mostly on. Glad you're here!
