Another new person

[JustOneMore23]

Hi all. My name is Kristin. I'm new to this site and to reef keeping/saltwater. I found this club after a google search. I was glad there is one based near Birmingham. I'm from Hueytown....which is outside of Birmingham, around Bessemer.

I have a 38g tank that is currently cycling. I've got about 40lbs base rock from marcosrock.com and about 25lbs live rock from premiumaquatics.com.

I've been lurking here for a couple weeks. Thought I'd introduce myself.

Hoping I can make some meetings and frag swaps in the future.


I also have 3 freshwater tanks. A 40g breeder planted, 20 long planted, and a 29g shell dweller tank. I've been keeping freshwater for around 6 years now. Just made the jump to salt.

Hey, Paul. I lived Adamsville until second grade. I found you in my brothers' old elementary school yearbook. Apparently, you were in the grade between my two older brothers. I'm about to move back over there at the end of this month.

Alan,

What was your brothers names ? Why or you moving back i still have my mom and dad there. We go there about once a week to check on my great grandmothers house its on union grove road. I grew up on robin circle​

 

[scubalauren]

Yeah! Another girl!!!

Hi Kristin, glad to see you on R2R. You will enjoy your stay here. A lot of knowledge here. Also, a "laid back" attitude with the mods.

Come on down!

I guess, it's fairly simple to do... when is this again?

 

[KingRicky]

Next Sunday, 8-30-09.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm off work that Sunday, so I'll try to make it.

I added some life to my tank today and a new light fixture (Nova Extreme Pro 6x39w):

I went the common route and got 2 True Percs. I wanted the Black and White ones, but I wasn't prepared to pay for them. These guys sure are nice though!

Also got my first frag, some Eagle Eye Zoas. They were adjusting to my tank and were closed, so I couldn't get pictures.

Hope to meet some of you soon!

 

[Sentinel]

nice, where did you get the fish. I was thinking about a pair of the black and white clowns or a pair of the onyx clowns

 

[KingRicky]

Kristin,

If you make it to the meeting, I have a frag of Fire and Ice and some shrooms that I can give you.

 

[Sentinel]

cough, cough, I know I don't have the female presence that Kristin has, but I plan on making the meeting as well. I am just saying that shrooms, frags, or anything else that is taking up space, I am in the market of filling my tank too these days. I mean I am just saying :bigsmile:

 

[KingRicky]

Well, paul told me you were going to be there. Kristin didn't know if she would make it so I was trying to entice her. I am sure that I can come up with something for you as well.
