Hello! As the title suggests, my name is Paul. I've been a long time lurker here on R2R and have really enjoyed reading about all of your experiences. I've always been interested in this hobby and I supposed I have my father to thank for that. I started out with a 50 something corner bow. It was a disaster but eventually matured into something beautiful- a planted discus tank.
My professional life happened and I had to give the hobby up for a few years but the second I found some free time, I was back in it. Caring for whatever my tiny apartment could accommodate. First a planted 20 long then a planted 40b and then my first salt water aquarium. It was a deep blue 57g rimless which, to make a long story short, popped a silicone seam and spewed about 20 gallons of water onto my floor. That was enough to put me on hiatus.
Two years later, we buy a house (about three months ago) and I'm already scheming and cooking to the books to make another run at it.
Anyhow, my name is Paul, I'm in Northern Jersey and I look forward to pestering the living crap out of you guys!
