Saltwater & Reef

Andrew McFadden · 09-09-2014, 07:52 PM

At one time I spent a lot of time on here and if you haven't noticed I'm trying to come back around a little more. I've wrote a few Malawi and a diy 3d background articles and my 180 was tank of the month at one time.

I hope to see all of you as I've spread around the hobby a little more than I use to be. When I was here before I mostly just kept lake Malawi cichlids. I do still have the 180 and looks pretty much the same as before. Now I keep a lot of plants and some snails. I have 7 shrimp tanks and always looking to add more but right now I have crs, cbs, cardinals,blue velvet, rcs, Taiwan bee, yellow and orange neos. As for fish I have two kinds of Apistogramma, kribs, plecos, some lake Tanganyika cichlids. Right now all together I have 14 tanks going I think. Oh almost forgot the pond

See y'all around

Welcome back from "not one of the older peeps!" You have a very impressive resume and I look forward to hearing you tell me how bad I screwed my tank up lol.

Nice to see you back. A few years ago when I was going through my cichlid phase, I always drooled over your 180g.

That's nice to know, it's ready to be overhauled. Did you ever get that cichlid tank up? Pic?

I had one briefly and I decided it really wasn't the thing for me. I'm more of a planted/shrimp/reef type of guy.

Some didn't leave the hobby they just left forums or some are to busy. I see pictures from time to time on the internet or talk to some email and Facebook. A lot of us are just more into the local clubs.

Welcome back from one of the relatively old timers! Nice to see you back. Yeah, we had a pretty good fall out about 6 months ago that included HUKIT, Cybourg, Convict and a couple others you would probably know. Theres still a lot of us left from back then though. That 180 has always been one of my favorite tanks on the forum. Pretty neat with the turtle living with the fish and the rock work is pretty impressive!
