Re: How long have you been in the hobby?

I'm tankless at the moment (minus my 80 and 20 gallon)! Only good thing is both tanks are with Rougiem/Wooster High School in Reno, NV!

Re: How long have you been in the hobby?

I used to have a freshwater aquarium years ago, but I am just starting out(within the next 6 months) in the saltwater world...I can't wait. First things first, however, I gotta get out of Iraq.
