I thought I'd introduce myself here as nobody likes strangers..
So here goes..
My name is Paul, I'm 37 and from Manchester in the U.K.
I've become a member of most forums but seldom post on them all.. But my username is livingjewels.. And I share the same name on all that I've joined.
My username comes from my earlier years in life when I kept koi carp, they was commonly referred to as 'the living jewels' because of their beautiful colours.. It was a very similar resemblance when I entered into this amazing hobby..so I thought I'd adopt the same discription and relevance for connecting with the natural colours commonly found in the marine environment.
So here I am..
I first made an attempt at marine, in 2011 when our 2nd child Noah was born, unfortunately my marine adventure only lasted 7 to 8 months, due to the commitments of my family..
My kids are now 7 and 4.5 and don't require the same demands as when they was newborns, so I thought I'd give the hobby a 2nd go..
Things are a little more easier to control now.. I find it a little demanding at times, trying to maintain my work, family and my hobby life in a healthy balance.
Marines are a rewarding hobby, and always throws a new challenge to you everyday.. There's so much to learn and it had me hooked from the moment I walked in the reef shop..
Anyway I've hopefuly built some kind of picture, of who I am and where I lie in terms of my lifestyle..
I look forward to catching up at some point..
Thanks for reading..
Regards Paul
