Hi everyone, my name is Shane Barnard and I'm the owner of Happy Fish KC. My team and I focus primarily on aquaculture with an emphasis on zoanthids. I've been a part of this hobby since I was a kid and a business owner for the last 13 years in both saltwater and freshwater. I got my start back in the early 2000's breeding discus and other freshwater fish and over the last 10 I've moved heavily into the saltwater side of things. My business is oriented about maintenance and farming and I can't wait to become a more active member of this forum to share my experiences and collection! Happy Reefing!
Welcome, welcome!

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? Happy Fish KC would be interesting to many. On a smaller scale, 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 and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
