Saying Hi

Well, just wandered onto RS and wanted to say Hi.
I have been around a coulple other boards for a few years and thought it time to expand a little. I've been keeping reef tanks for off and on 20 some odd years. Initially as some of you may remember there was little to no information available and Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.

Anyway, I transferred my 5 year old 75 gallon mixed reef into my current 225 gallon SPS dominated reef 2 years ago. I consider myself to be an advanced reefkeeper. I enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge and look forward to helping out as much as I can.

Glad to be here
Marshal

Got lots of pics, unfortunately I'm at work and can't access them right now. I will post some up soon. Is there a size restriction in the gallery?

Re: Saying Hi

Sorry for the quality, but 100k is pretty tight with my camera.

This was January last year. I have reaquascaped since then and things look pretty immature now.

Re: Saying Hi

Sorry I've been gone for a bit. Under the weather. Just working and sleeping. Thanks for the gracious welcome and appreciated comments.

Web page is abit outdated. All it takes is time which there seems to be little of lately.
