The Addiction is Real
My name is Zack, I live in a suburb of Fort Worth, TX. I've got a wife, 3 lovely kids (4 years, 2 years, and 3 months), and a love of fish. :)
I've been in the aquarium hobby for about 15 years now (wow... doesn't seem like it's been that long...), but I've always been on the freshwater side of things. I started with the 2 gallon Betta tank with plastic plants and a plastic bridge that everyone starts with, and never looked back. My favorite tanks were, of course, planted tanks. I did everything from an Asian Biotope that had Gouramis, White Clouds, and Coris, high tech planted tanks, low tech planted tanks, etc... I had a low tech planted Betta tank as a counter piece in my kitchen for a long time... I had to do something cool with that Eclipse System I started with after all... :)
For various reasons, my tank count slowly dwindled (I did a lot of moving around for a few years, and that makes it REALLY hard to keep those tanks going...), and I am now in reboot mode, and I have decided that I want to make the switch to reefing! My first project will be a 120 gallon mixed reef tank that I will be building for the next several months. I expect to ask a lot of questions, and offer what expertise my 15 years in the freshwater side of the hobby brings here. Looking forward to being a part of the reefing community at large, and specifically, R2R! :)
