Hello Everyone,

I am a reefer from New Zealand and thanks a lot for accepting me to the forum.

I am originally from Sri Lanka pretty much grew up on a natural reef almost 20 years of my life in the beautiful town of Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.

I love this hobby to the max and I have a 100gal tank that I built from scratch by my self with some cool features. I am a designer(Product, UX, Experience), photographer, Tech expert, and a creative producer and I am always trying to combine my collective knowledge, experience and expertise to improve and contribute to this hobby the beat I can.

I have few online resources if anyone wants to have a look.

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)
