Back in the game after 15 yrs, hey coach I'm ready to go in !
« on: January 26, 2013, 11:55:32 AM »
Hello, my name is Dave, I am 50 yrs old (boo hoo), I grew up in Allen Park across from the "Big Tire" off of I-94.  I have three kids, one is in college while the other two are still in H.S. I am married and work in the Auto industry, three miles from where I grew up! I now live in Romeo.  I had been out of the hobby for 15 years coaching the kids in everything and anything.  Now that they are growing up and don't want to be around Dad any longer, I decide it was time to get back into the hobby again.

I have had aquariums since I was 10 years old, most tropical fish.  When I went to college I started getting into Mbuna but would always see and want Peacocks.  Well now I an into Peacocks.  I started a 55 Peacock tank running on a Magnum 350.  My next project is going to be a 125 w/ either a Fx5 or a DIY wet/dry system.

I look forward to getting to know you in the MCA and hopefully see you at some events.

Hey Coach I'm ready to in now !

Hey Dave -
Good to have you. Pretty much got my kids raised and jumped back into the hobby a little while back myself.

At least the fish don't talk back to you!  :)

That's cool - do you have a fish room set up in your house?  If so would love to see your set up !   That is a long term goal of mine, after the kids get outta college (10 years or so)...if I am lucky..

I am not 100% sure on Friday.  But, more than likely I will be there.  BUT... I will be coming from work (16&Mound), not home.
