How is everyone doing this Sunday? My name is Zeke (Short for Ezekial) and I have lurked these forums a little bit to keep my interest in the saltwater hobby! Anyways, im a state worker who's currently employed by the California Conservation Corps in South Lake Tahoe, CA. I used to own my own saltwater aquarium setup a few years ago when I was working for a local LFS. Whilst working at the LFS (My first job by the way), During that time, I owned a 10 gallon freshwater tank that I used to keep some Cory catfish and some tetras. I can't exactly remember but I know I did upgrade to a 29 gallon tank which was still freshwater as well. While continuing to work at the LFS, I got interested in the saltwater hobby and decided to dump my paychecks to the SW switch! As far as I remember, I started off with the power filter, a bak pak skimmer, my heater, and a couple powerheads. I had a barbershop shrimp, a few emerald mithrax crabs, and 2-3 fish. I remember 2 of the fish being a Yellowhead Jawfish and a Scopias Tang (I now know that my tank was too small for the tang). Anyways, I was a lot younger back then and didn't know a lot of things about the hobby itself. For some odd reason, I ended up losing interest and took my tank down. It's probably been about 6-7 years since I was into the hobby but I hope to get back into it in the future! Unfortunately, I currently reside in a dorm that my center provides so there's no way I could start the hobby again now. My current goals are to save money for a new place to stay upon finishing the CCC, get a car, and go to college. Once I can satisfy myself with a place and a job, then I seriously want to get back into the hobby again. Not only that but id want a bigger setup as well. Something between 40-55 gallons persay but who knows what deals I might find later on! Well, this is ending up to be a wall of text so let me say that I hope to be a positive contribution to this wonderful community! Have a good day everyone!
