Hello all -
I live about 1 1/2 hours north of Detroit Michgan. I had a 150 gallon tank that I tore down and sold about 8 years ago out of frustration. At that time I was what I would call an uneducated shark lover. It is amazing how fast they would out grow that tank. I now have a wonderful acrylic 600 gallon tank that has been sitting empty for a few months as my wife and I have contiplated moving south. We have pretty much decided to purchase some property and build very slowly so I am going to start playing with my tank. If I remember right it is 10 ft by 4 ft by 3 ft tall. It fits perfectly in on spot in our basement, I wanted more but that is what I was able to negotiate with my wife.
I am hoping to make some friends within a hour or so of where I live in which to meet with trade ideas, and friendship. So much has changed in the last 8 years, I have spent a couple hundred dollars in books and my mind is going to mush. It was sure easy running that old 150 gallon tank, with a large canister pump, and undergravel filter run by power heads. I am ready to spend the money to do it right, however I have yet to actually decide which is the right way.
I have previously kept, Leopards, Bamboos, Woobies, Blue Dot Sting Ray, and a nasty Nurse Shark I felt sorry for and he made a meal out of half my tank!!! The uneducated mind is a horrible thing!!
My name is Marc, I am a family man, I look forward to meet all of you! Take care!!
