Hello,
My name is Chris, I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I had kept african cichlid for years before I had to step away and be the best dad I could be. But now I'm remarried to a wonderful woman and with her 2 kids and my 2 kids and then the miracle that we were blessed with 4 years ago we have 5 crazy kids. Never a dull moment.
I've always had the passion to get back in the hobby and was surprised when my wife said i could setup a tank in the living room. So you know how that goes.... right now I have a 20L in the living room soon to be replaced with a 55, moving the 20 into the bedroom, 15 flex in the wife's office, 3 older kids are getting 40 breeders in there rooms, and our little man is getting a 15 flex in his room. Funny how 1 turns into 7, lol!
Right now in the 20 I have guppies (5 males & 10 females), 8 neon tetras, bristle nose, African dwarf frog, and 6 anubias nana's. All a first for me. But I'm enjoying learning and the surprised interest from all the kids. That's what led to them wanting there own tanks. They all have there own fish that they want and we're going to learn and grow together. Because, everything they want i have no experience with. That's what led me to aquarium co-op. I started my research and found Cory's video on how to hot rod your filter. Then found his podcast and started from the beginning and listening to it everyday while I'm driving and working. Wife's finding out how much of a fish nerd i really am.
But anyways, I'm glad to be apart of this group and I'm sure I will have many questions while my family and I start growing this great hobby in our home. I don't know if I will be any help for anyone, never know. But I'm looking forward to talking and learning from everyone.
Thanks
Chris W
