hi everyone

[Ken]

Hi everyone,I have been on this site a few time and I feel like I know all of you. I can relate to all of your questions and comments concerning this hobby.A little bit about myself, I'm located in Campbell River BC north of Vancouver Island. I've been involved in aquariums since 1970, switched to saltwater in 1980, I have a tremendous passion for this hobby that I spend mega hours in the fish room.I'm still learning and growing with this hobby so to say that biologist Rob Toonen a well respected reefer once said "when we stop learning, we have stopped listening" My fish room consist mostly 75 gal tanks and a small 500 gallon wide screen coral reef tank.

Whats with you guys with the sleemans, can't you settle for Lucky? Anyway there's a nice couch out in the fish room where I spend all my time, you guess it, gawking at the 500 gal widescreen, I had a family guest from Toronto a few months ago that wanted to sleep in the fishroom along with all the noise of those Iwaki and little giant pumps running 24 7 plus the hissing sound of the ETSS skimmer. So you're welcome to sleep in the fishroom if you like, which I do sometimes.

[Namscam]

Ah, I see you're from the Island. :lol: (Jack has "educated" me about Lucky this weekend.)

Welcome from me too, BTW. :biggrin:

[BCOrchidGuy]

Lucky???? It's the closest thing to american beer you can get in Canada, minus the beer taste.

Tell ya what, I'll bring some beer, (not all the beer) and even chip in for some pizza if you supply the potato chips.

as far as sleemans goes it is a different taste and I personaly don't like it but some do. there is nothing like a good Blue in my opinion, as long as we are talking domestic.. as far as imports go.. dortmunder gets my vote :mrgreen:
