Hi from South Africa

Boreas_SA · Sep 7, 2022

Hi, Long time article/info consumer, thought it is time to introduce myself. Been in hobby 15 years, current tank is a 350 liter (think around 100 gallons in non-metric) that has been running for almost 3 years now. Oldest fish is a foxface I’ve had for 8 years, then I think a pair of sand tile fish I’ve had for 5 years. Oldest overall livestock is a Linckia starfish I got as a hitchhiker when I brought back a small piece of live rock from our honeymoon to Mauritius in 2011 (as a souvenir for my tank), so it and its clones have been with me over 11 years. Lots of ups and downs over last few years. Some of the fish I’ve collected myself on South Africa’s warm water east coast (goldies, truncatus bristletooth etc). Photo of current tank, need to start a tank thread:

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:
