I live in Wyoming and I'm a bit of a renegade ~ after all, how many people do you know in Wyoming who keep saltwater tanks?
 
My life was going down a completely different path at one point and I chose to go a better way. This hobby really helped me along the way so I considered finding it my fate. So aqua for water and ph8. Ph8 was the name of a local band I grew up listening to and I ripped off they're spelling of the word fate.
 
WVU is where I went to school, and when I first got interested in keeping aquariums...Let's gooooo.....Mountaineers!
 
I've been in the fire service for 23 years. Also like to scuba dive, swiftwater rescue, and of course the aquariums. Also while in college people used to joke about taking underwater basket weaving so I kind of put my own spin on that and said i was taking underwater firefighting class.
 
There seems to be a lot of firefighters in this hobby. Mine is just my birthstone and birthdate have been using it for anytime I need a logon name.
 
spscrazy cause some days I'm crazy in love with them & other days they are just making me crazy
 
A long time ago, in a far away place, before the internet, as we know it, I was part of a bulletin board that was based in Australia. Everyone had Australian themed user names. My username was SydneyMike. Then, along came AOL, where you had to have a user name, I tried to sign up with "SydneyMike," but it was already taken, so I changed the spelling to SidMike. Everyone called me Sid. Then when people started asking me who Sid was, I explained that Sid was my imaginary friend, creating a second user name, "SidandI." Then, I left AOL for awhile. When I returned, to AOL, neither SidandI nor SidMike could be used again, because I had used them both as AIM names so they were still technically "in use" on AOL, though I couldn't remember my passwords. I became Returnofsid. The name stuck. A lot of my friends still call me Sid...lol, even though my name is Michael.
