INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Welcome Sam,
Do you have a reef tank?

deepgreen wrote: Hi Mark, I would like to know if you remember me I used to come to the meetings way back when, I was actually at the very first meeting of our "club", we met at a gentleman's home in No. Ogden. Fast forward a few years later I used to come with Tom Miller. You nominated me for president of the club, this was about 1997. Please reply to [email protected]

Aloha Dave,
Sorry for the unusually late response, but I'll email you too. I was away in Hawaii for a few years spending time in a much bigger tank.
It's good to hear from you.
That meeting at Joe and Cindy Jones home in Ogden was actually the second club meeting. There were about 10 of us there if I recall correctly. I remember I drove 7 of us up in my van. Joe has since passed away and we have not heard from Cindy in quite a while.
The person in Kearns was Tim Weidauer. Tim originated the idea for the club and was president for the first three years, 1995-1998. Joe was president the following year and I took the job for two years after that.
Tim now lives near Portland with his wife and daughter
Last I knew, Tom Miller was in Logan and still had reef tanks.

Mahalo,
Mark

My Name is Derek, im from Logan, and am currently only in freshwater tanks, but would love to make the jump to salt water tanks someday. 

Hi my name is Tim... I have a problem. I sold my 125 gal almost 3 years ago and I've been trying to recover from my former reef-addiction. The problem... I really want a big tank again.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure this is the 4th or 5th time I've introduced myself on this thread, so maybe this is my way of saying... I'm coming back :)

Thanks Mike! I though there would be a little more excitement about the prodigal son returning, but I guess 3 years of Adam's mocking me while I have been away has tarnished my reputation.

On well, such is life. I have cleared a spot in my home office and hope to start up a "crappy reef" soon. I may even start out with the club 20 gallon monolith that Adam so kindly dropped off on my driveway.

Make sure and post photos and bring us along for the build!

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm very new to this hobby (7 months or so) and already find myself addicted! I was kinda adopted into saltwater through my boyfriend who has allowed me to help him rebuilt 2 of his 3 tanks together we have 4 tanks and over 500 gallons of saltwater!! Our reef tank is a 160gl with a 75gl sump coolest part of this tank is we have a school of 5 tangs! The second tank is a 200gl (not sure the sump) eel tank housing a 4ft tessalated and a 4ft Japanese eel. We have another 55gl with a 29gl sump eel tank housing a snowflake eel, fimbriated eel, trigger, and a foxface. I just recently bought a 12gl nano for my home that was already established with Tampa Bay live rock which the previous owners had just let grow. This tank is probably my favorite because it's the closest to the ocean as I can get. I'm very excited to join and hopefully can offer all my research to others as well as learn from others!

Welcome Tink! I look forward to hearing about your tanks.

What's up yall - I'm Josh - live in SLC. Had a 40g breeder reef tank and a couple smaller tanks (15-20?) way back in high school days and haven't had a tank since due to moving lots and other priorities. Finally settled down in Salt Lake and bought a bigger house two years ago, so figured we'll be here awhile and it's time to start a tank again. So 20 years since my last tank and here we go again! Lots has changed but it feels pretty familiar too. 

Welcome Josh! 

Welcome Eric. What kinda tank do you have/had?
