[JA McDougall]

Hello:
Mac from Kissimmee Fl here.
Joined your site a few months back and simply thought I would introduce myself.
Been in the hobby 30+ yrs and have virtually watched it
evolve from undergravel filters and wet-drys to what most of us have now.
Made all the usual mistakes of course but still here.
I moved to Kissimmee 5 yrs. ago from Ann Arbor Mi.and had to come down from a 300gal to a 125 in wall with a 135 sumptafuge(Hope I spelled that right)
Got most the toys to back up a deep sand filter.
Electronic readouts PH/Redox to give me a small clue what is going on.
Ample skimming/3- 250W halides/2- 96W actinics
Impressive water flow I will not get into but I'm sure you all get the idea.
I am the raffle director of a medium size aquarium club in Orlando named Orlando Reef Caretakers Association.
(ORCA)
We have a membership of a little over 200 members with about 40% active.
Check us out at.... O-R-C-A.com
I plan to attend MACNA this month in Atlantic City .
Anyone Going?
If so look me up.
Just ask anybody with a ORCA shirt on who Mac is...
Nice talking......Mac:truckin::truckin:

Welcome aboard Mac, thanks for the intro post. Sounds like a nice tank even if it isn't a 300 gallon : )
Nice to have a rep from ORCA on board, keep us updated as to events that are going on please.

I really do not get on line that often as I am a truck driver and enjoy a very unsettled schedule.
I just happen to be home today.
Best I could do is tell people to check our site out.
I plan to tell them about your site after my first experience in your chat rooms.
Feel free to do the same if you like.
Be sure to read our mission statement on the home page.
We have some great photos of recent and past activities
I am sure you will enjoy.
Once again the site is at O-R-C-A.com:truckin:

Welcome to the site and thanks for the post. It is nice to hear from folks even if they have been around for a while. Sometimes I post to someone and wonder what their background is and where they are from and these posts help us to get acquainted.

Welcome to the site Mack, I know that feeling of driving a semi and never home much. I did it for a few years with my husband till he got sick and we had to quit. Great seeing all the different countrysides though.

Good to be here:
I'll stay as updated as possible on your site and I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.
Many times I simply do what the other drivers call "Reading the mail"
Which basically means just that.
See what topic is, who is in on it, read for a while and check out without saying much.
Could be different though.
Waite and see.....Mac*pc
