Return long overdue

Thanks to all of you for your warm and friendly welcome, and to those from my age we do have an understanding that is hard wired from pure bite your nails hands on do or die learning. To buy the books was very expensive, and when you have kids…well those books didn’t make the purchase list.

I hope to share knowledge, but that is not always founded on a common ground, for strange though it may seem not only may we generations apart in age…we may not even share common values as they apply to current modern day aquarium application. By example I recently recommended an aquarium person to setup a water storage supply to handle PWC…I won’t say how long it took him to stop laughing, but he considered that suggestion too expensive, and not worth the time….I know that was him, but many share that opinion.
I may prefer to stay more to my personal applications and just update my old school knowledge and meld the two as one.
I do hope to learn new things and diy projects I will alway look at from those of you who pursue that passion.

to all.....ss

Welcome to the forum

I to have been in the hoby before fishless cycling, canister filters, and the internet. I just love all the info that we have access to these days, allowing old dogs like us to learn new tricks

I notice several members with icons on the side of the window, and iconic ribbons. I did try to click on one side icon and given the message I don't have enough points to do that???? So tell me about your awards merits banners or anything else I may encounter as I venture further into the realm of Aquatic Community?

nice assortment of icons....ss
