Obsessed newbie!!! I fondly remember my first aquarium. My first job was babysitting for a neighbor at 12 years old. When I received my first paycheck, the father asked me what I was going to do with it. I proudly straightened my 4'10 frame, held my head high and said "I'm going to buy me a fish tank!". He looked at me with a surprised look, telling me he had a 10 gallon tank in the backyard that he would give to me. After searching behind the barn, we found the tank under a tree full of green water. When we started to remove the green water, it was full of guppies and mollies of all sizes and kinds. I was hooked. Now I have 100 gallon tank which I converted from fresh water. I attempted a salt tank many years ago but was not successful but I will be successful with my mixed reef this time because I have all of ya'll to help. I do need a housekeeper & cook because I now don't want to do chores any more, The Tank is much more important & FUN!! So here we go on a wild ride in the world of reefers! :) Linda
