    Hey everyone,

    I wouldn’t expect or think that anyone would remember me but I’m coming back to the hobby. I have missed it so much, and now I got a job at my lfs so I need to brush up on the hobby. The only reason I left the hobby was money. Its difficult being 13 and owning 2 tanks one 30 gallon sea-horse tank and a 26 gallon reef. And yes you read that right I was 13 when I joined the hobby. Now 3 years latter I’m getting back into it, now that I have a job I should be able to support a 30 reef. now I’m not one of the spoiled brats I had to pay for both my tanks 100% the only reason I could afford anything was because I volunteered my time at the lfs that I now work at, the owner loved me and would give me some corals or fish every so often.

    Thanks all, hopefully one of you will remember me but I love to meet some of the new people so I’m just saying hi.
