| Greetings all, my name is Ashley and I, happily, have just discovered the aquarists club here at USF! I have kept many fish when I lived back in St Louis and am now keeping some in sunny/rainy Tampa. Here has presented me with a mess of challenges that I am still working through, but I am sure will overcome *edit* gah! Didn't mention my fishes.. fail on my part. I live in a pretty compressed condo, so right now I have a 20 gallon freshwater and a little 3 gallon where some aggressive little buggers have been banished to.. but that's another story. I also do have two bettas, and on the hunt for one more really super one.. again another story So in closing, I'm excited to meet everyone, and I look forward to our first member meeting! Best fishes, Ashley | |

| Welcome to the forum, Ashley! Like Nicholas said, it's nice to have another freshwater member. We've gotten a lot of salty people lately (not that there's a problem with that). You should definitely start some showcase threads for your aquariums. I want to know who got banished to the 3 gallon. lol | |

| I feel like FW is often shunned off to a corner.. but I defend it! LOL. Besides.. I volunteer at CMA so I like coming home to something different Pics to come for sure.. but first, off to trouble shoot my tank here in the forum. Let's see if you can help! | |

| Well, we don't shun the FW people here. Cool that you volunteer at CMA! What do you do? | |

| FW is great too! I have 2 little FW setups of my own. You can do stuff with them that you just can't with the reefs. | |

| Thank you! A lot of people recently have been upset because CMA is small and without a ton of exhibits.. I feel as if people assume it to be like the FL aquarium. I think people forget that first and foremost, CMA is a hospital and rehabilitation center (though with the opening of Dolphin Tale, we shall see what happens!). Second.. it's non-profit , money for expansion is hard to come by! I was staff at the suncoast seabird sanctuary for a long while and that was something we were always suffering through. | |
