Coming home - New to the forum

[ismvel]

Hi, my name is Ismael and will be coming back home to San Antonio in the upcoming months. I currently live in Kansas City, MO and just finished breaking down my tank :angry to put the house on the market. Once it is all squared away, and touched up, I will be making that move to SA. I look forward to meeting some of you and possibly do some trading in the future. I will probably be out of the hobby for a while, until we can get settled in and find a place to put my new tank, but I will be on here asking questions and such and admiring all the tanks in the local area.

I have been in the hobby for a little over a year, my current boss turned me onto this hobby and I ran away with it....started with a 42 gallon...eager...impatient.....lots of casualties...not good :( .

Within a couple of months I was already eyeing a bigger tank...so I upgraded and it ran successfully because I had learned, read, became patient....I made it an in wall display with the front and one of the sides visible. But for personal reasons I have to come home....and the tank (empty) and wall stay in place...

So I took advantage of the situatioin and decided to get a little bigger in tank size...and am done upgrading...so I have told my wife, so she won't kill me... ...

On that note, I am off to start painting so I can come back and check out the website....

Hey Welcome!! I also moved back to SA from Kansas City, MO back in October. Wife and I moved up there for work and were not to fond of it. Were you a member of fishheads.org? Anyways welcome back and happy reefing!

Small world.......and no not a member of fish heads.....I look on Reef Central, am a member of saltwaterfish.com, and there is a relatively new site that is local to KC and Topeka (salt-city.org)....yeah, job brought up here. It wasn't bad, but it isn't necessarily for us. The wife is back getting things lined up, so I am just here messing around and cleaning up the house.

Thanks for the welcome, and it will be a while until I get back into it, but I can't wait. That is for sure.

Cool, yea fishheads.org is a local club in KC. Hope the move is smooth for you. With me it was 15hrs of driving a U-Haul. And it was not fun, lol.

Welcome, Ismael!

Good luck with the move.

We look forward to meeting you and pulling you further into this hobby called reefkeeping.

Gotta show me up, don't cha!

When did this "welcome banner" come into play? I still remember when we use to use the jumping fish (I think it was a fish). I've been away too long appearently.

Anyways... welcome again Ismael.

Thanks everyone...yeah I know it is going to be a haul in the moving truck....but I will take my time. Stay overnight if needed, but the great thing is i'll be coming down to a house to put all our things in....whew....no extra moves...and I will be doing it alone, I can make that drive alone, it's the constant stopping for the kiddos and dog that kills me....

And I can't wait to get started again, cause I have BIG plans.....now I just need to make sure I find a job that will allow my plans to come to fruition...LOL....cause I think Mamma has wiped her hands clean after I told her my plans for the return and closed loop....LOL....And although she loved the last set up...going bigger means more money...LOL....

Thanks again all...
