Hello From Maine

[mainekeeper]

I came across your great site while doing a search for fish forums. Very well indeed!

I have been keeping fish for over 37 years and hope to add my expertise when troubles abound with fellow members.

My newest addition is a 75 gallon community tank for my wife. Currently it includes 5 platys, and 8 long-finned zebra danios. Later in time, we will add shoaling tetras and a few Gouramis.

Here is a picture for your enjoyment. Our next step will be a 220 gallon reef tank.

220G reef tank huh? I would sure hope you have all the experience you say you do to tackle something like that. I wouldn't have the brass ones to try doing something like that right now. All the money invested in it and the chance of it all just coming apart one day.... quite a risk, but the rewards will be magnificent!

Thank all of you for your wonderful comments!

ox5477, do not dispair.... I will have everything under control.

I hope to begin the reef tank at the beginning of March 2007. Photos will be many during the process.

Looks very nice Mainekeeper.....oddly enough I live just up I95 from you in Bangor! (well, maybe not *just* up the road)

Too bad you live that far down, in Bucksport we have a GREAT LFS in Vance's Aquarium Fish and Exotic Pets, and if you are starting a reef tank he's the man to talk to!

That's one thing lacking down here along the coast, a good [acronym="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym] with saltwater fish, supplies, liverock, etc.

I could make a 2 hour drive to Manchester, NH, there is a decent one there. But if I did that, I could just as well drive to Bucksport.

Glad to see a fellow Mainer here on the forums.
