Howdy, fellow fish fanatics!

My name is John and I live in Pickens. Been keeping saltwater tanks since 1986 and right now have a little 10-gallon setup that a really smart 16-year-old kid modified for me and installed a trickle filter on the side of the tank, which has allowed me to keep marine fish in since 1990. I have two Clownfish I bought 7 years ago that were tank bred (about one inch long) and are about three inches long now I have a pic of the tank below, with my Christmas present from my wife, a BioCube 16 that I hope to get running by the end of January.

Looking forward to chatting with you all on this good looking forum!

Hi John and Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? 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 under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you: in Pickens

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

Thanks for the info! I'll mosey over to that part of this fine forum and will pitch a tent there!
