    Hi everyone. I was doing some online research and ran across a thread asking about stocking. I felt like I had something to contribute, so I registered. That's how I stumbled on your community, looks really nice. I look forward to getting to know folks here.

    I'm not much of a reefkeeper. I have a few fish-safe corals and a lot of interesting fish. Here's a list of fish that are divided up over 6-7 tanks. My biggest tank is a 210. I also have a 90, 55, 44, 29, 25, oh and a nanocube:

    Dogface puffer (rare yellow dalmation morph)
    Reticulate boxfish
    Hawaiian spotted toby
    Leopard toby
    Green wolf eel blenny
    Marine betta
    2 Engineer gobies
    Plesiops (related to marine betta)
    Longfin banded basslet
    Orange spotted filefish (Cantherhines pullus, not the one that's impossible to keep)
    2 waspfish
    Assasi triggerfish
    Hawaiian leaf fish
    Emperor angelfish
    Blue spotted angelfish
    Blueface angelfish
    Zebra moray
    Brazilian dragon moray
    Blue spotted rabbitfish
    Black tip grouper
    Peacock mantis shrimp
    really weird scooter blenny (huge dorsal fin, colorful)
    seahorse

    I'm sure I missed something, but that's probably enough...

    I've kept saltwater tanks since I was 15, in the 70s. I'm a biologist and was fortunate that for 12 years I got to test aquarium equipment for free in my job. I have two daughters, 7 and 11, that know more about fish than all their friends. We also just hatched 25 chicks, and have some in the house, along with a hedgehog, bird, cat and three dogs. My husband, from the city, just does not understand why "our house has to sound like a petshop".

    I'm pretty active on a few hobby boards, using the same screen name. Thanks for the chance to introduce myself.

    Lisa

    Thanks for the welcomes! :) I don't keep up with the tanks very well. They are all healthy, but could be better groomed. I also am an insomniac, have no life outside work, family and animal hobbies... I'm online a lot today because I'm home with a sick kid. Should be doing water changes right now...
