Hi there!

I think it's time to introduce myself...

I'm an ichthyonomist and a marine hobbyist from Finland, Scandinavia.
I had my first cold water marine tank in 1998, but I have been in this hobby since I was 5, so that is 25 years now!
At the moment I have an 11' (330 cm) long tropical reef tank with a basement sump/maintenance room and in the basement there are also my two temperate tanks. The one I already have is a 10 gallon nano and I'm currently setting up the other one that is a about 25 gallons + a small sump...
I have been building the temperate tanks in association with the Sea Life aquarium, and I hope to get much more new species from there still

I hope to make some new friends in this field of aquarium keeping too, and have been reading your threads with great interest!

Welcome .. So your not going to collect your own species then..

No I am, and I have! It's just that we don't really have that much species here... I have to travel to Sweden, Norway or Denmark to collect some animals. The Baltic Sea is really a huge brackish pool where the salinity is only 0.8% so we don't have much marine life there
