Hello everyone 
Being a new active mod/member here on this awesome forum I figure it only right for you all to get to know me better.
What better way then to see a build by me. I just happen to be working on one right now that I haven't even mentioned yet to anyone. I was holding off so I could get some headway first but then Scott approached me with this mod thing so the timing could not have been better!
As some of you know, I am a moderator on another awesome forum. RS.
But I have always had ties to RF and have come to rely on it for a lot of the learning I have received over the years.
The coral and fish data bases are second to non imo. And the friends i have here are pretty solid. I have a huge respect for the founders of RF also. Without them, I am told RS would not have even begun.
Scott and I have always kept in touch as friends and when he told me he could use some extra hands to help out I was all for it. What an honor!
A bit of my background in the hobby.
Back in 1979 I won a goldfish at the county fair....... and that is how I ended up here!
No really, that is how it begun but by 1984 I was breeding a lot of freshwater fish and taking the hobby pretty serious at that time 14 years old.
One of my mentors back in 2000 suggested i try saltwater. I rebuilt his LFS and had a pretty solid head already for it so I took home a 75 gallon and began. By 2003 I bought my first PC and found MIRC. (chat rooms) That is where I met Mojo and a few other reef degenerates that really helped me to begin thinking outside the box more. The hobby has always come easy for me and I have had very few losses.
These days I get into probiotics. ZEOvit is my main target these days and I was very successful with it. I have many friends that run zeo around the world and I find it to be fun. It is not for everyone, that I will say. Also you will not see me pushing it on others. If you are interested and are serious about probiotics you can shoot me a pm.
Well, last year the economy for the first time forced me out of the hobby. Being a hardwood flooring company is not easy these days. I saw what was coming and sold off all my live stock before it got worse. Glad i did, because the down time has been worse then expected. I am having a rebound now though, and decided to start smaller and not do a reef this time but what I loved the most. Growing corals
This is a 60 gallon frag tank that I built last year and never really had the chance to grow out of it.
