I've finally decided to make an active profile so I'll just introduce myself here!

I'm from Canada and I've been keeping aquariums for over 17 years (started saltwater around 14 years ago), although the first few years were during my childhood so it hasn't all been done properly. I have a biology degree and I'm currently a microbiology major looking to go into aquaculture (or wild fish?) research for my grad school. I pretty much like all aquatic creatures, and I prefer natural aquariums (ie. not glowfish and plastic plants).

I love to research so I'm probably going to end up posting advice based on my experience with my tanks and others, along with things I've learned through the scientific community. Remember to always question what you hear though, people with the best intentions can sometimes be wrong (myself included).

I currently help breed and care for Northern and Southern Mummichog for my university, and I have a 13.5 gallon mixed reef.

Feel free to send me a message if you want to talk or ask questions!

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you've got lots to share and look forward to learning from you. This is such a wonderful site filled with helpful people!

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 and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
