Introductions

Hi everyone!

My name is Paul, and I'm excited to join the Atlanta Area Aquarium Association.

I'm still relatively new to the hobby, but I've been completely hooked since setting up my first aquarium. I currently maintain a 55-gallon planted community tank and recently started building a Southeast Asian blackwater betta nano that has quickly become my favorite project.

What I enjoy most is creating natural environments, learning about aquatic plants, water chemistry, and watching a tank slowly develop into a living ecosystem. I've found fishkeeping to be surprisingly therapeutic and a great way to slow down and disconnect from the day-to-day chaos.

Outside the hobby, I'm an IT Manager, husband, father, reader, gamer, and all-around geek.

I'm looking forward to learning from everyone, seeing your tanks, and continuing to grow in the hobby. Thanks for having me!

Are there many Lake Tanganyika cichlid collectors in this association?

Hi y'all had a blast at the auction last Sunday and joined the club does anyone know when we would receive the email confirmations and all that good stuff?
