Greetings from Plymouth, MA

[eyedogtor]

Hello all,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been an active reefer in the area for a while now, but for some reason never took the time to join this group - so I'm fixing that today.

I have a 120g reef tank plumbed into a 75 sump in my basement that has been up and running for 4 years this August. It needs to be pruned a bit (as you can see from the photo), but is doing fairly well. It could always be better, and I look forward to learning from all of you.

As for me, I am 37 and live in Plymouth with my wife, newborn daughter and two golden retrievers. I am a veterinary ophthalmologist (hence the name screen name) and work keeps me busy as well.

I look forward to meeting everyone!

Pat

Welcome Aboard

I know - that clam needs it's own zip code. It's almost getting too big for the tank (difficult to move) - but just keeps growing almost exponentially

Welcome!

What is the size on the beastly clam?

 

[Mrs. Delta]

Hi Pat! Welcome to the BRS. It's always good to see more people local to us.

 

[eyedogtor]

The clam is about 11-12 inches in length and the mantle is just about that wide when fully open. I got the little bugger 5 years ago and he has made the move from my smaller (75g) tank 4 years ago - never skipped a beat.

Welcome! You will find this forum a valuable resource and the people are great as well! I have two little ones and one golden retriever, but I am not a veteranary opthalmologist! Great screen name by the way. Looking forward to meeting you at some point, take advantage of the meetings they are a good time and very informative as well!
