Hello reefer world!!

scrapdaddy · Feb 25, 2017

My name is will and like many others I am new to the marine aquarium world. I have been lurking for a while and getting all my ducks in a row. Seems to me that the main thing is slow and steady wins the race. I am very excited to see my monthly progress. I also have enjoyed learning about the many different creatures that depend on one another to survive! Thanks for having me!!!!

Well, I am a little slower now than I was when I was younger so that works just fine for me.

I've had to start putting a set amount of money every two weeks aside because I go way overboard if I don't..

Ya. Its always expensive to start a new hobby. Advise well taken. I will start that tomorrow. Hahaha. Or maybe the next day. I haven't even gotten any creatures yet. Hell I dont even have water in the dang thing. Hahahaha. Gonna get plumed and wet by Monday evening tho. Then it is a search for the perfect shrimp to sacrifice to the deep.
