Hello!
My name is James and I would like to introduce myself since I have decided to become a paying member. I was born and raised in Indy, then spent about seven years living in North Carolina, Florida and Georgia before deciding to move back to Indy. My wife and I have been in Indy for about two years now and are still trying to settle in.
I love aquariums and just sitting in front of the tanks just watching everyone. I grew up with saltwater aquariums at my Dad's house and have had my own up and running for about six years now. Before moving to Indy we had a 2.5 gal pico that housed a High Fin Goby and a Pistol Shrimp, a 14 gal BioCube reef tank, 39 gal Cad Lights Signature Series reef tank and a 75 gal fish only tank. We didn't think everything was going to make the trip from GA to IN so we broke them all down, gave stuff out to friends then sold the rest to our lfs.
I currently only have three tanks up and running. The 39 gal Cad reef tank with a pair of black ocellaris clowns and a pair of banggai cardinals, a 20 gal long that houses our wartskin frogfish and a 5 gal hospital/isolation tank. The frogfish is our newest addition that we just picked up about three weeks ago and he has been very entertaining. I am getting ready to start building a 125 gal tank, just not sure which direction I will be heading with it yet.
In order to keep up with all the things I want to do with my tanks I, unfortunately, have to work for a living. I work as a fabricator/model maker at a wind tunnel on the north side. Before moving to Indy, I was working in the automotive industry. I am an ASE certified master technician, a Jaguar certified master technician and was working on becoming Honda certified as well before changing directions. Automotive industry just isn't what it used to be and it was time for something more stable. I look forward to getting to know every one a little better and can hopefully find out some good information about the hobby along the way.
