Where are you moving from? Earth is, of course ... something of a large planet so it could be warmer than what you're used to .. or colder .. or wetter .. or um .. drier ..

Drier? Wouldn't you have to be moving from some sort of tropical rain forest during the rainy season. Wetter than Van, heh your out there Delphinus

Ok! That’s fair and square!

My name is Eran. I am 36 and I am relocating from Israel!

Since I can remember myself, I have always had an aquarium.
I had it all, from my first 5g guppies tank. To a larger tropical fish tank, low-tech and high- tech planted aquariums, African Cichlids, Discus fish and so on! I even had a brackish water biotope tank with mangroves.

I have always found saltwater aquarium irresistible and in the year 2001 I started my first saltwater aquarium, a marine biotope tank. Since then I have been hooked to the hobby and today I am the proud owner of a nice 125g SPS dominated reef aquarium.

My new tank on day one- 15.09.08



12.12.08



24.01.09



18.02.09



Sadly I don’t have any newer pictures and I have just disassembled it

Another aspect of the hobby for me is to be an active member of the saltwater aquariums community, helping friends taking first steps in the hobby, sharing information and with my friends and learning new techniques. I am also forum moderator in the leading saltwater aquariums community portal in Israel (www.reef-center.com).

some more pictures to open your appetite









I did some special design with this tank and as soon as possible I will tell you all about it.

Cheers

Situated on the shores of the mighty Fraser River and nestled against the Coast Mountains, Maple Ridge is a mecca of adventure for the outdoor enthusiast. Located 45 kilometers east of Vancouver, it is a progressive community well-known for its beautiful countryside and spectacular scenery. It is a community of urban sophistication that retains a sense of rural charm.

Arts and recreation facilities abound, creating a culturally vibrant and active city for healthy living. Maple Ridge has become a year-round centre of festivals and festivities like the Jazz and Blues Festival, Maple Ridge Fair and the Santa Claus Parade. Its Town Centre is the focus of community life in the area, offering a state-of-the-art leisure/youth centre complex, library and performing arts centre. Numerous boutique-type stores are located in the area.
