Hello from Troy, Ohio

[scarlnano]

Hello reefers! I'm new to posting, but I've been lurking in the shadows for a couple of years on R2R as I was researching the jump into saltwater. I've maintained freshwater tanks for about 22 years, only been into saltwater for about 2 years. I recently (6 weeks ago) started a Fluval M90 with seed sand and rock from my BioCube 29, and I'm right back in the thick of things!

I love this hobby - I learn something new every day, and I'm excited to start being much more social on the R2R forums!

Thanks in advance for the warm welcomes - this community rocks! Happy reefing!

It's funny, but a lot of people like that gif. Here's another one just for your 9 year old. This is me, below.

VERY little town if it was Bulter! Kind of a "spit and you miss it" town just outside of Mansfield! That's northeast of me - I think technically Troy is considered "Greater Dayton", but we are the county seat of Miami County, about 18 miles north of Dayton.

I once emptied the showroom at an exotic car sales business near Dayton called the Foreign Exchange when I pulled up in a Porsche 914 with a Chalon body kit on it. The owner took me for a ride in his 911 Turbo and made my day! He took me to get some parts I was looking for and showed me a 911 race car of his. He treated me like a long lost friend and all I had was a glorified VW with some killer body work! One of my high school buddies took me skiing somewhere near Dayton one time. Don't remember the name of the ski hill but it was small and crowded! We had a great time though!

Love Wright Patterson air museum as well!
