    Hey everyone,

    My name is Chris and I am new to the forums. I currently do not have any tanks, but am looking (and excited) to get back into the hobby. In HS I bred various SA Cichlids and had other "oddities" (gars, half beaks, river trout, electric eels).

    I have three little ones now (the waking kind (not swimming) and they are interested in the hobby too, so I am looking to set up a couple of tanks so they can learn and have fun (one will be for "pops" though).

    I am excited to be on the board and will be certain to ask "technology" questions as I scour Craigslist for some good, used equipment.

    Welcome to the forum Chris. Feel free to ask us anything. :D

    I lived in NC for many years, Zebulon to be exact.

    Yeah, technically I have a tank I started for my 6 year old daughter with a couple of Sunburst platties and zebra danios, but I was scraed if I mentioned that, I would lose my "tank cred".

    Saw a great tank on CL, but lost out to someone who picked it up from the seller at 6:30am...lol.
