hello everyone, although this is my first post as reef-lover, I was a member of the CZ community for about a year with about 80 posts, under a different name. I got out of the hobby for awhile due to 3 bad trades in row. all different CZ members. I will not throw any of those members under the bus. the first trade came delivered to my house in leaked out prescription bottles. :confused: all zoas dead!!!!D.O.A.... the second trade I did, I received my end of the deal in ziplocks that exploded long before they arrived!!! :confused: all zoas dead.. D.O.A.. the third and final trade arrived with an army of zoa eating nudibranches attached. they infested my tank, eating thousands of dollars worth of livestock. (my fault, should have quarintined):( this all left a bad taste in my mouth for the hobby, and shortly after I tore down my showtank, swearing to never get back into the game. well, here it is a year later, and what do you know, I'm back in. I think this site sight is a almanac of info, and most people are truly great and helpful. It's those few bad seeds that always stick you. But, like M.C Hammer put it,"You gotta brush those haters out of your hair." I hope that I can bring some relevant info to the table, and help those a little less knowledgable. And of course, learn some things myself.. My mind is like a sponge, help me absorb.....oh yea, and please.. NO TRADES..
