  1. Hi my name is Rafael, everyone calls me Raf, this what I look like... Nice to meet you. What do you look like? NOTE: The purpose of the thread is for people to see the faces of other members and when you go to a meeting they look familiar, not to mention if you see them on the streets you can easily recognize the members of your club!

  12. CJ, comenze en el RUM y termine Army, ahora trabajo para DOD. The Secret Operative and Commander of the Anti Tang Police, Boricua Division came out of Nano-Reef.com to which I was a regular and there is the ongoing JEDI Battle of the people with tangs on their Nano's and the advocates of having tangs on your Nano is cruelty even if they are baby 1-2" tangs and you fully understand that it needs to move out to a bigger home when it reach a bigger size, go figure, darn hippies... Language barrier wasn't brag but more to make people feel welcome if the wanted to conversate on another language, I'm trying to learn ALIEN now! Same thing I told him, al que no le guste que se vaya 'pal Karajo! o menos vulgarmente "que cojan el monte y que no sean soba mangueras o pellisca
  13. Chris if you decide to part out some LR and you offer a good price I will be interested in about 30lbs. Thanks, Raf
  14. Hi, I am Rafael, everyone calls me Raf, I'm located in Rockville, MD and work in NOVA. I have attended couple of WAMAS meetings and met some interesting, encouraging and knowledgeable people (Bob, Charlie97L, dude you know who you are T5 plans big tank - sorry but I forgot your name) Anyways, quick background had a whooping 24G NC and it cracked, well sad that it broke but it gave me a chance to pick up a brand new 46G AGA BF for 96.00; bad part is that I can be a compulsive spender (always want the best of every hobby I'm involved) so I once a month I have a small limit to spend (the temptation of a drug addict sitting in front of a table full of different drugs knowing that you can't have them no matter how much you want them) so I'm slowly making progress in the recovery and build. Donations are welcome for the new tank fund and did I forget to mention that contributions are tax deductible under charity If some of you remember in the zoo a few weeks back when the lady was making her presentation on the different tanks the kid that was driving her crazy with questions that is my kid Gio, also if some of you remember the meeting at Blue Ribbon Koi he was the lucky little dude that got the opportunity to draw the winning raffle tickets. Anyways, I will see you all in the future and look forward to conversating with everyone. Raf
