Who Am I?

[FishyPapa]

Greetings everyone!
 
My name is Chris and while I'm not new to fishkeeping, I am new to this forum.  In my opinion one of the best things about communicating in these forums that it's ALL a great learning and growing experience!  Nary a post goes buy where I don't take something from it being in regards to fish or to the person who wrote it and that's a joy for me.
 
I started in this hobby about 33 years ago and have ebbed and flowed since then.  Now since I have a little boy and he likes fish it's been wonderful to get back into it.  My next project will be a salty tank.
 
I'm looking forward to participating and thanks in advance!  The attachment is just a little reminder of how I feel about life in general (or at least try to remember, haha)

 
Papa

Nice sentiment, Papa (gosh, it feels odd to say that, lol!)

What tanks do you and your lad have at the moment?

 

[FishyPapa]

At the moment we have a 5.5gal for his Betta and a 20gal community (guppies, glo tetras, 1 cory, 1 bristlenose pleco) and presently I'm cycling a 100gal tank that's going to be a salty (cycling for a while because of using uncured live rock).  Probably going to be a reef tank and have a starfish since my son's keen on them. haha

I'd love to have the time for marine. Instead, I have 4 children, who all need taxi-ing to various after-school and weekend clubs.

Fortunately my little one isn't at that age yet so I'm lucky. That's another reason I want to start the marine now so at least it's established by the time all that comes around.
