Where in Michigan are you? I'm in Ohio just south of Toledo, we have a nice club down here, have several members from Dundee and Monroe areas. There are several clubs in Detroit area, as well as a really good one based out of Grand Rapids, the Grand Valley Aquarium Club. there is also one somewhere in the SW area of the state, can't remember the name of the club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor city club just had a big auction last weekend, I wanted to go up to it, but couldn't because of work commitments, but I heard they had a good turnout of fish to sell and buyers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoriNotCory Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Central Florida. Too close to Orlando and The Villages and I work in a profession where I get to meet Florida Man and Florida Woman on a too frequent basis. By "too close" I mean that this was a very nice, small town, area of FL about 20 years ago. The more crowded it gets the less Florida it becomes. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nj I have a 15 gallon fish tank with about seven plants not doing the greatest with the plants I just started adding liquid food for the plants. My water is green yet I don’t have a lot of algae at all on the side of the tank on the rocks or any hairy algae on the plants. My pH was 6.2 so I added a little pH increase one time. My nitrates and nitrates are at zero. How much longer before the tank should get back to normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family has lived in CA since before the gold rush. Donner descendant on my Mom's side, and the first member of my Dad's family immigrated from County Cork Ireland in the 1870s to Canada and settled in NorCal. They actually did Eastward expansion in both cases and my parents met in Virginia. But I love Norcal even though I have ended up in the SE. I can still remember the taste of the chocolate mandarin orange ice cream from Marianne's in Santa Cruz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great great grandmother was also from Ireland (County Cork, I was told). She and her husband settled in Bodega (Sonoma County) in around 1860. He was a McCready-his family was originally from Ireland and lived in New York for a few generations prior to his trip "around the horn" to get to CA. I have never figured out where in Ireland the McCreadys originally came from. Family history is so interesting, but equally frustrating 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never figured out where in Ireland the McCreadys originally came from. Family history is so interesting, but equally frustrating 🙂 It is indeed - the first Irishman on Dad's side was a Nugent and was in San Francisco, as was Elizabeth Donner - who was a schoolteacher and as far as I know there have been teachers in every generation since, myself included. It took a couple more generations before my parents met. There are distant relations in Los Angeles, so seeing Nugents in film and tv credits always brings a smile. The next Nugent location I know of was in OK, then KS, then New Orleans and VA after that. Oddly enough there is a tiny town in southern Georgia that is full of Nugents, all Catholic. My branch is not, so that split goes back quite far. My Uncle tracked us back to Normandy pre Magna carta, Scandinavia before that. My branch traveled with William the Conqueror and settled in Ireland for some time before my direct ancestor traveled to the Americas. A nomadic bunch, and I tried to relocate to the Monterey area in the early 2000s but it fell through. I did my grad work in SF but as life happens I'm now on a farm near the end of the Appalachian Trail, go figure 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
