GrandeGixxer January 1, 2015 January 1, 2015 Hi, I am Joe. I have been in the area for about 3 months now. Just long enough to remember that I don't like the cold. I have been in the reef hobby off and on since 1999. I am in the Navy, so I've had to relocate a few times and that's why the off and on for me. I just set up a new tank about a month and a half ago, just started stocking it last week. I am looking forward to meeting some people and making new fish geek friends, lol! Happy New Year!
DuffyGeos January 1, 2015 January 1, 2015 Welcome aboard Joe! Happy New Year and tell us about your tank. Set up, pieces, plans, stock, and what direction you are thinking of heading. We are also very fond of pictures
Origami January 1, 2015 January 1, 2015 Welcome, Joe! And Happy New Year. How many years have you served? (And thank you for serving!)
GrandeGixxer January 1, 2015 Author January 1, 2015 Here is a link to my build thread. http://wamas.org/forums/topic/70829-joes-im-fusion-40/?p=635974 I have been in the Navy for almost 16 years now. 4 to go!
Origami January 1, 2015 January 1, 2015 ^^ 16 years! Great. My father served 26 before retiring. He sailed on carriers. We moved around a lot when I was growing up. 18 schools through HS.
GrandeGixxer January 1, 2015 Author January 1, 2015 Wow, that is a lot! I don't know if I will go over 20. The way things have changed, I don't think I want to.
Origami January 1, 2015 January 1, 2015 20's always been a good getting out point. I think that my Dad thought 20 was going to be it but he hung on through his last shore-duty assignment. He joined back in '57 so his experience was likely a lot different.
GrandeGixxer January 1, 2015 Author January 1, 2015 Oh ya, I am sure it was way different. Vietnam and all that. If I stay past 20, I will have to go on Sea Duty again. I don't think it'll be worth it but who knows. Time will tell.
smallreef January 2, 2015 January 2, 2015 Welcome! My husband has 26 in, probably going to do 34 if they let him.... We usually move every 3 years, but this time we get to be here for 5.5 ... I still set up a tank every move,lol this time a much bigger one! Good luck and can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!
YHSublime January 2, 2015 January 2, 2015 Welcome to WAMAS! I think you will enjoy it here, there is a great reefing community! You should post some pictures of your tank (really heavy hint.)
Matt LeBaron January 2, 2015 January 2, 2015 Welcome to the club. Are you down in Virginia or up in Maryland? Always on the lookout for more MD WAMAS members.
GrandeGixxer January 4, 2015 Author January 4, 2015 I am in Waldorf Maryland. I posted a link to my tank up ^^. I will add pics as the tank progresses in the build thread.
Hilary January 5, 2015 January 5, 2015 Our Winter meeting is January 24th - you should swing by! It's a great chance to put faces with names and we usually have several vendors present (good chance to get ideas for stocking your tank). Welcome!
GrandeGixxer January 5, 2015 Author January 5, 2015 Thank you very much! I do plan on attending the meeting.
dave w January 6, 2015 January 6, 2015 The reason we like pictures is that some of us can't splel so gud. So I look forward to reading your thred.
