hello everyone, ive been posting here for a little while now so i figured i should introduce myself. Ive been into my fish and fishtanks for about 3 years now. i had always wanted one but was never able to afford it. I probably still wouldnt have one if it wasnt for my neighbor bringing his first bundle of joy into the world. he didnt have time for the hobby anymore so he simply gave me everything he had, and ive been into it ever since. his loss is my gain *h/b. anyway, see you all around the forums.

Well here's a late welcome. What part of California are you in. I lived in several places out there for quite awhile.

Hope to see some pics soon going into the gallery.

I would say you ended up much richer for his loss. Thank you for joining us and welcome to the site.

im in northern california, im pretty much on the Delta. i was actually thinking about putting together a delta tank with natural fish from it. the stripers out here can be very beautiful. and i could get one of those ornaments that looks like a beat up car to put at the bottom. *r2 anyway, thanks for the welcome everybody!

Thats not funny JIM! lol. There are so many people constantly joining here, that its almost impossible to cater to all of them!

But hey! Welcome to the site! or atleast a late welcome for that sake! I am sorry that I didnt get around to you. There are so many people and the forum is seeming to get bigger and bigger with each passing day! So what kind of fish do you have in your tank? If you have the time, I encourage you to post some pictures of you tank! They certainly are appreciated! Posting pictures to you OWN personal photo gallary is so easy.

On the top of your screen, press upload photos. Then, click browse inorder to find a picture of your fish or whatever you have on your computer. After doing that, press Upload/Submit. Wait a seccond, and when the next window pops up, press process. This processes your picture and finializes your upload to the photo gallary. Thats it! Easy as that. It is a great place to see everyone's fish tank setups, corals, fish, and anything else fish related! Once again, late welcome to the site! and I hope you find this site as helpfull as all of us do!

very cool, can you recommend any LFS' by name and city?

 

[mielikki]

I will use only one fish store in my immediate area, it's in Nevada City, called "Incredible Pets".
The reason I use it is because the manager, this guy named Mike, knows more about fish than the fish. He's picky about his stock, makes good recommendations, and isn't after making a quick sale to people who don't know fish. He has been guiding me through all my tank problems, and even tells me "no!" when I am wanting something not good for my tank.
Without him, my tank would be an overstocked, green mess, probably.
They have both fresh and salt water everything there, too, despite being a "general" pet store...
If Mike left, I might have to follow him....
