    Default Introduction

    Hello and thank you all for so graciously having me. I thought I could start my first post just giving you some information regarding me.

    My name is Casey, I am from Orange County California. Fish have been my life's passion. I have a wife and 16 month old son named Logan. We live in Garden Grove, California (near Disneyland).

    Hobbies: Aquarium building, fish keeping, boating, I also do a bit of gaming.

    I worked as a professional fisherman for 5 years during and after college, where I dedicated my life to responsible fishing practices and conservation. I was part of HOPE which is a local organization for White Seabass where we bred, grew and released them into the wild.

    As far as the aquarium hobby goes my experience goes back to the days of yesteryear... My family has had aquariums off and on my entire life. As a young adult my cousin and I opened an aquarium maintenance company and did that on the side for a few years. I worked at a LFS as a hobby for a couple years before my son was born. I have kept reef systems up to 250 gallons, fresh water systems up to 200 gallons. At the high point i had 14 tanks running at once, with a mix of biotype. I have always had a slight favor towards the Amazon Bio Type. Especially the Rio Negro area. I have bred Geophagus, Frontosa, African Cichlids, Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, Rams of all shapes and sizes, Corydoras, Plecos and a plethora of unintentional community species.

    As a career I currently work as a Compliance Auditor for Mortgages. So if you have any questions regarding that, lmk.. i'd be happy to help.

    Umm is there anything else?!?? I have two dogs, an English Bulldog who is the most awesome animal on the planet and a French Bulldog. When i get some time, i'll post some pics of some aquariums i've kept.

    I am having a really hard time uploading some of my Oder pics, it may be a formatting issue. I'll work on it tonight after work.
