Hi, I'm Kevin, been a forum user for a few years now and finally joined the other day. I've wanted to become a member for a while now, and finally pulled the trigger. Why not sooner? Mostly financial, money has been tight, but this is a good cause so it took some salesmanship on my part to convince my wife that it's worth it. Plus, I've benefited from the forum, so it's about time I gave something back. Glad to be here.

I will try and recruit members among my fishing buds...

[Matt DeLaVega]

Welcome, and thanks for the support Kevin. The 2015 convention is in Oklahoma. Quite a trek, but they are great fun. I suspect that the 2016 convention may be a bit closer to home for you. I really like the oyster reef tank, and apparently so do many others.

[Chasmodes]

Thanks Matt! Yeah, it's kinda far for me this time. I will try to make some of them in the future though.

On another note, as my oyster reef project plods along, I just found out that I will be getting a 75 gallon and related equipment, supposedly all in good shape and not very old, from my brother-in-law. He is getting out of aquariums because of expense and space issues. I think he wants to get rid of his 30 gallon too, but not sure. I see a stream tank set up full of Maryland life in the very near future!

[Matt DeLaVega]

Sounds great. There are many good stream tank ideas on the forum if you search for them. Good luck. Hope to see you at a future convention. Matt

Been lurking for a while and have always been enthralled with aquatic life.  Finally pulled the trigger yesterday!

Hello people...A friend told me about this site so I checked it out and joined. Thank you for allowing me into the group. My name is Greg Ollila and I currently live in Pleasant Prairie, WI but plan on moving to eastern Tennessee where I will be closer to what I love to do. I am a catfish tournament angler fishing many catfish tournaments nationwide which are mostly on larger rivers.

Hey everyone, 

 

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm really glad I stopped procrastinating and finally joined NANFA. I've been interested in native fish for well over a decade now. Whenever I have some down time, I love to explore Maryland's mountain streams and tidal marshes. I'm in the process of setting up an aquarium at the park I work at to hopefully bring attention to some of our states non-game fish.
