I'm excited about meeting everyone at the next meeting. I started keeping aquariums when i was 9. I was fishing and caught a baby brim and was so amased by it i begged my mom to take me to k-mart to get an aquarium for it. I had the brim for about 6 months and decided to set it "free" back into the pond. Since then i've had alot of tanks and alot of creatures. My first reef tank was a 75 gallon back in '91 when i was a freshman in high school. It was a disaster. I was too young and BROKE! A reef tank is not something you can maintain year round on a part-time summer job salary. I ultimately sold that tank when it began to leak and set up a 29 gal tank which was much easier to manage. I finished law school about 6 months ago and as a present to myself i went and bought a nano-reef set up which has been set up for a little over a month. I have added my clean up crew and some button polyps last weekend. i'll post some pic's when i get it stocked. Anywho.... sorry about the long post! -James-

Hey James. Sounds great. I hope to attend the next meeting as well. Where did you go to law school? My sister is at UGA Law right now.

Can't wait to see some pics of your tank.

I will definately be at the next meeting! I would also like to go to the meeting at Fernbank on the 24th. I'm going Friday night to Fernbank to see the IMAX movie "The Coral Reef" i can't wait.

Bill, i went to John Marshall Law School. I am currently clerking in Cobb State court for one of the Judges. Maybe when your sister finishes she'd be interested in a clerkship it really is a good way to get your feet wet. I'd be glad to tell her about it if she is interested. See ya at the meeting! -James

Ahhh cool. My friend who went to UGA Law as well, when I was in Athens, clerked for a judge in Gainesville and he loved it. He agrees that its a great way to get your feet wet. He signed on with a firm in Gainesville last year I believe.

See you at the meeting!

James nice to see another reefer in the club w/ a nano. I believe there are now over 8 of us.

Please post you tank specs so we get an idea of what your setup is all about.

sorry to butt in on your thread James, but while we are on the subject of nano tanks, heres mine so far:

Nice start so far.

Please everyone post a quick little bit about your Nano in my "Nano SIG" Thread. Will start that thread up within the next few min.

I am looking forward to a possible nano meeting!

Your talk looks very nice. If that the 96watt quad lighting?

Hey, yeah i made it over. Thanks for telling me about this club! Yes i ordered the Coralife Aqualight 1x96w. Its working out extremely well. I was very worried that it was going to be too much for my tank, but as long as i keep a fan on it, it doesnt raise the temp at all.

 

[Billdemart]

Hey Puffermatt,

I have the same lights and the fans do a great job of keeping it cool. I have hardly any temp fluctuation. Nice looking tank btw.
