I’ve posted a couple times but never introduced myself!
I am a 21 year old new reefer, mechanical engineering student, who somehow is finding time to support four aquariums!
Now, I say “support” as if I need to do anything for the three of my planted freshwater aquariums. Talk about a piece of cake— these things are!
I started out in this hobby when I was 5, folks got me a 10 gallon freshwater tank. My father had tanks as well, a large oscar tank in particular when I was young. Later we set up a 72g bowfront FOWLR. During high school I got out of the fishkeeping biz and focused more on fish catching. (also an avid kayak bass angler) Today I find myself enjoying both hobbies equally as the fishkeeping got quite easier now that I have a job and a mode of transportation. Keeping a saltwater tank was quite hard as a 10-13 year old when you’re working with birthday/Christmas money!
I hope my first experience owning and operating a reef tank is going to be a fun, insightful, and rewarding adventure. I appreciate the advice this forum has directly and indirectly given me through this experience and I look forward to our future!
