Hmmm
Always fun to join a new group and realize how much the fish and plants have changed since I started doing fish.
My name is Rob Peterson, and I am in Herndon, VA. I am currently the co manager of the Annandale Home Depot. Previously was an Army Engineer Officer and Construction Manager for Hovnanian Homes.
These days I have 19 tanks set up between my apartment and my parents house. My joining CCA can be attributed to a few members of GWAPA that attend or belong to CCA, Francine, Kevin and Kris being the ones that really piqued my interest in the meetings.
I joined GWAPA about 2 years ago after moving back to the area from the Army. Just recently returned from Atlanta for Home Depot and joined PVAS and CCA in quick succession. I am fairly active in the hobby, always looking to learn something new. More into a balanced tank than any of the big tanks of large cichlids, kind of concentrating on Dwarfs at the moment and when I find out what Home Depot I will be the actual manager of I plan to move and buy a house which will allow me to begin breeding heavily as well as growing plants. I have 7 tanks currently empty that will really establish my fish room once I get them up. A 75, 2 50 Breeders, 2 40 Breeders, a 30 breeder, and a 33 long. I also have a spattering of 15 gallons and smaller that I use on a random basis for quarantine and grow out.
