FishyTim January 22, 2009 Share January 22, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone.. My name is Tim and I am the newest member of WAMAS. I am 27 and live in South Riding. I have been in the hobby for 2-3 years, but I am still learning something new every day. I have lurked on this board quite a bit and have learned a ton of stuff from reading the threads. Today I decided to go ahead and register and become a memeber. How long does it take for my to get access to the member forum? Now to the important stuff. I started the hobby with a 36 gallon bow. I bought the tank off craigslist and basically relocated the whole setup to my house, fish included. The tank was a FOWLR. It was a good learning experience keeping an established tank. That being said the tank had some issues (the guy before me used tap water). I ended up moving to my current house and when I did I picked up my current tank which is a 90 gallon AGA with a built in overflow. The move didnt go all that well and I really lacked the equipment needed to make the tank sucessful. Anyway, to make a long story short... I bought a fish from a lesser LFS (to be kind) and had a huge ick outbreak (I know, my fault for not using QT -- I told you I have learned from my mistakes) and everyone died. I became so frustrated that I decided to give the hobby up for a little bit. This Christmas I decided to let my family know that I wanted all gifts for the tank. So with all the right equipment and knowledge I started my tank the day after Christmas. The tank has cycled and I have added a CUC and a fish. My goal is to have some real nice mushrooms and some soft corals along with my fish.... (maybe even tank of the month eventually?) So thats it. I look foward to posting with everyone, this seems like a great community! Tim Edited January 23, 2009 by FishyTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you fill out a WAMAS application (separate action from signng up for a forum account) and submit your membership payment? If yes, please PM your full name to me so I can research this. If not, what are you waiting on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanman January 24, 2009 Share January 24, 2009 Welcome aboard! The aquascaping looks good - lots of potential. I have free frags available of a nice sarcophyton. Also a Kenya tree or two, and some bits of Green Star Polyps. Bit of a hike - but on some nice spring day, you might want to drop by. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyTim January 26, 2009 Author Share January 26, 2009 Thanks! I would love to pick up that sarcophyton and Green Star Polyps! Maybe I can swing by this coming weekend or something. I wait to hear back. Thanks again! Welcome aboard! The aquascaping looks good - lots of potential. I have free frags available of a nice sarcophyton.
