Hello from Redneck* Country

I am located in Morgantown, WV and have been keeping fish for about 6 years. 3 years ago i took the plunge in to saltwater and haven't turned back. I grew up on the ocean so I was always near marine life. Growing up I wanted to be a marine biologists. I recently graduated from WVU with a degree in wildlife and fisheries management. I plan on applying to SCRIPPS Institute of Oceanography to get a masters in marine biology. I am currently working at a LFS until I feel like getting a real job.

I have a total of 4 tanks. 13 gallon frag tank, 29G FW that the GF wanted, 5G Fluval Chi, and a 75G reef. Hidden in the mix of tanks are 5 ferrets and 1 flemish giant rabbit.

I'll add a photo when I get home from work tonight. She isn't full grown yet. Only about 5lbs at 4-5 months old. They get about 20lbs.
