is this the place??

[patman]

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Patand I found out about MAAST through one of your fellow members, Lonestar. We work together up here in beautiful :rolleyes: Michigan! I'm currently tankless but previously (about a year ago) had a 120g SPS/clam reef tank with a 150 rubbermaid sump with all of the bells and whistles.

I'll probably get back into the hobby with in a year or so depending on a few family issues.

So, again, hello and I look forward to getting to know you all. :bigsmile:

We hope that you get another tank up and running soon so we can get pictures. Please make yourself at home here because any friend of Michael's is a friend of MAAST'S.

anyways...you get the idea. as soon as I find some of the pics of the tank right before I sold everything I'll post them.

I figure by now anyone that has 56K hates me :angry:, so I'll stop.:)

the angel was a model citizen. I had three royal grammas and it worked out great. they had there own little spots and live pretty peaceful with each other. They're my favorite fish so i thought I'd give it a try. I used to volunteer at the Toledo zoo aquarium and we had a 500 gallon tank with a green moray and about 25 royal grammas in it. That tank is what led me to try it in my tank.:bigsmile:

[BIGBIRD123]

I have two Purple Tangs together. I had a 4" first and he/she was to any new inhabitants but I got a good deal on a 6-1/2", I just put the big one in and to my amazement, the little one's faced turned white as a sheet and the next thing I saw was the two of them swimming around the tank together. WoooHooo!

awesome! I tend to "break the law" also when it comes to tangs...:D

[BIGBIRD123]

Yea, I love Tangs. The Dussimier is starting to get it's adult colors and is gorgeous. My Unicorn is only 5.5" but has a 3/8" horn.
