Howdy from a farm in Texas

welcome aboard the r2r board. hello from PA!

Hello and Welcome to R2R! I too am a diver but unfortunately I haven't dove in several years. I was a PADI Instructor. I can't believe the amount of animals you have. I'm sure it takes all day to properly care for all of them. Are you sure that you will have time for salt water tank?

Not all day, and if I'm ever feeling overwhelmed (which I'm not sure I feel that at all ha-ha), I can always throw the torch to my husband who wouldn't have an issue picking up any slack. He is also highly interested in a saltwater tank, so this won't just be a solo adventure. :)

Welcome to R2R and the salty world. Lots of work to be added to your collection of creatures. Take things slowly. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

Howdy y'all! :D

First time reefer here. Figured I'd give it a go because my life wasn't chaotic enough living on a farm and become a first time mom back in October. I grew up/have been around freshwater tanks my whole life, and I decided to bite the bullet and just jump all in on a saltwater tank last week randomly. I'm a certified aow and nitrox diver with naui, so I figured I'd bring some the ocean home ha-ha. It's been so far quite the journey to read up on all things saltwater, looking at different corals/fish, and just learning all that I can.

When I'm not lurking this forum, you can find me outside usually tending towards my growing collections of animals on the farm. I currently raise heritage Berkshire pigs, heritage turkeys, chickens, and ducks for consumption. I have two Texas longhorns steers that I purchased for my birthday in 2022, five rescued horses (mostly seniors), a donkey, five dogs (2 gsd, 1 anatolian, and 2 mutts who were dumped at our gate), a goose, and a panther chameleon.

For a living I breed ball pythons, and am known in that industry for importing uncommon genes and working them into projects. I have roughly around 180 snakes in my collection, and about 600 - 700 rodents (I breed them). So, there's that :zany-face:

Anyways, looking forward to lurking some more and maybe posting around here or there.

Welcome to R2R! Can’t wait to see your progress!
