    Hey there, Val here, wanted to say hi to everyone, my friend Seawillow intro'd me to this forum so i thought i would post a big HI to everyone.
    :) this is a really nice forum and i look forward to all the great info!

    I run two small tanks, a 46bow and a 40 breeder with a 15 gallon sump. I also have about two to four ten gallons set up now and then with clownfish babies.
    I am not a total success with the clown breeding but am getting the hang of it, my first babies will be large enough for most tanks in June, right now they is cute and small...perfect for a nano.

    I have worked in pet retail since 1994, it wasn't supposed to be a career!!!:-X
    Lol, but when you have done fish since you were a kid, it just seemed to fit.
    I have been in charge of large systems, small nano's and still don't know the half of it. But love to learn, share, chat and just plain enjoy this hobby.
    My husband can't stand the drain to the bank account but he buys me live rock instead of flowers and we get along fine.

    Right now I am in love with softies, and anemones, and have several clams.
    Looking forward to getting to know you all!;D

    Welcome Val!

    Great to have another fish store employee here - great for sharing experiences with others. 8)

    I love 40 breeders. I used to have one years ago. I wouldn't mind having another one - might be easier than my 20 long. hehe.

    Karma for joining!

    WOW, My wife is in the early stages of getting another bird. We currently have a Quaker, named Quincy. She is very active in the local rescue. I think we are going to try fostering birds before we commit.

    Are all 12 in your house? ;)

    Yeah...twelve, all here, we don't have kids, we like birds better anyway...hahaha!
    They are a riot, a huge commitment and alot of them have broke my heart (and my skin) many times.
    I wouldn't have it any other way, congrats on a wonderful idea, adopting another bird!
