Hello from the Philippines

Hi,

I am a 50+ year old aquarist from the Philippines. I’ve been keeping marine aquaria since 1970, and have gone through most everything in this hobby. Perhaps my experience has been a bit diluted by the financial limitations of living (and earning a salary) in a third world economy, but on the other hand, it has also been enhanced by easy access to reefs and other marine habitats.

I've just torn down my previous 2x90 gallons tanks, and I am now finishing up my “dream” system of a 500+ gallon system of 6 display tanks (each representing a different marine biotope), but sharing a common water management system. I also keep a separate 550+ gallon reef pond system. (Please see attached files for functional system design).

I hope to learn from this forum (after almost 40 years in the hobby, the only constant thing is that I always have so much more to learn). And maybe I could possibly contribute in discussions where I might have some relevant knowledge/experience.

And BTW, if anybody needs anything on the hobby in the Philippines, just give me a quick PM or email. I will try my best to answer or help you. (Being "the" pioneer / old-timer has its advantages ).

Cheers,

Phil
