First, my name is Dane.

Second, add “ger” to my name...”Daneger”aka Danger aka Dangerous (nickname from school from riding/racing dirt bikes ) Get it?

Lastly, 21. That was my age when I made this name for an email and username in college.(I am now 36, haha).

 

[Dabcrusher]

I just had a big head as a kid that took me a while to grow into

 

[reptireef]

I'm not the most creative so I just combined my two hobbies lol, reptiles and reefing.

Working as a construction foreman anytime a sub or someone showed up asking for me they would just point and say he's the dude with the big red beard. And it stuck. Even after i shaved.

Childhood nickname and year born...thanks to the ones early in the thread that were born in the 90s...I feel old LOL

I live in nova scotia (Newfoundlander originally) and I'm not creative so thus NSreefer.

You are very close Jay. I think I’ve explained this one before.
My first year as a Marine infantryman I was tricked into lighting a mortar increment (capsules that go around the base of the shell and make it fly out of the tube) with a lit cigarette. Keep in mind that these are very hard to randomly light as a safety mechanism. I had to really bend down and blow on it while touching the cigarette.
Poof, no eye brows!

 

[LA Reef Addict]

Born, raised and have lived all my life in Los Angeles and I have three 8' reef tanks which i know is perfectly normal. Lol

 

[Dania]

Slightly more unusual nickname to my real name. On some other sites its Daniacat. I grow up with cats and I will have several shoals of catfish in my tanks when they're mature enough.

 

[Viva'sReef]

My screen name was VivaBorg (Long live the Borg) on Michigan Reefers about 15 years and everyone just started calling me Viva. So when I landed here, I changed it to Viva'sReef so ppl could just keep calling me Viva. Yes, I like Star Trek but NO, that is not where it comes from. My last name is Borg
