TomasaMike February 16, 2014 February 16, 2014 Hello...My name is Mike and my better half is Tomasa. We are looking forward to getting back to all the benefits of being a member of WAMAS. I left a few years ago because of a broken leg but things are on the mend and I have Tomasa to thank for that. She was a true gem!!! We currently have a 125g with rock and fish, a few mushrooms and a cabbage coral. The lighting we have is 3x250w MH and 4x39w T5's. The tank is currently is in I need a little TLC please shape, so that is what Tomasa and I are going to do. We are going to work towards getting some acro's in the tank, Tomasa really likes the LPS and actually already has some that she is watching in another tank :-). She has been extremely excited to get the tank running and seeing how beautiful these tanks can be, she has gotten me excited about it again. She is much better at taking pictures, and I know she wanted to do some before and after pictures, they will be coming soon. I hope those that I have met before are doing well and look forward to meeting new members at socials, etc. Already meet a member at BRK yesterday. Yes, Tomasa knows you can't put a goldfish in a reef tank!!! For the member we met yesterday.

paul b February 16, 2014 February 16, 2014 Because of a broken leg But things are on the mend and I have Tomasa to thank for that I am surprised you are still talking to Tomasa after she broke your leg. But welcome back and good luck with your tank.

dave w February 18, 2014 February 18, 2014 Every time I got out of the hobby was because of a tank meltdown, never a broken leg. I'll have to try that sometime. Welcome back, I've found that each re-entry to the hobby is more serious than the last.
