Just wanted to introduce myself
 

Hi everyone,
I am new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. I am currently living in Indianapolis,IN, US. My husband's job is transferring us to Saskatoon sometime in Nov or Dec of this yr. I currently have a 52 gal bow front reef tank. It has been set up for 11 months now. So I guess you could say I am still a newbie,LOL I will not be bringing my tank with me but will be purchasing one when we get settled in Saskatoon. Looking forward to meeting some fellow reefers when we get moved. And checking out the local SW stores.

Now that's what I call preparing to move the right way! You've got a new MSG board lined up so you're halfway done ;) welcome to canreef!

Howdy.....and welcome to canreef....you found the right place:biggrin:

sounds like time for an upgrade?
maybe to a 130g :lol::lol:

Welcome to Canreef.:biggrin:

Welcome to Canreef...I'm sure you will find some great reefers in Saskatoon on here.

Are you planning to upgrade the size of your tank?

Welcome to Canreef. You realize of course that you have to become a hockey fan now. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.:biggrin:

As far as upgrading tank I am not sure since this will be a temporary transfer for 2 to 3 yrs then moving back here again. We will be renting a house so I have to wait and see what the lease says about fish tank sizes and such. So I am thinking of maybe doing a nano of some kind. Maybe a 34 gal. Not sure if I am buying new or maybe a used one. I am kinda leaning towards a AIO tank if buying new. I will have to see what is available in the area for both new and used.

I don't know about the hockey...do you guys get American Football on cable tv up there?? My husband just ordered a new lap top so hopefully we can at least watch our Indianapolis Colts play on-line. We are both big American football fans:razz:

Yup. NFL is big up here too. I guess you're a big Peyton Manning fan eh?
(Notice how I slipped the Canadian... eh? in there).:lol:
I'm a football fan myself. 49'ers fan for years. Way back to pre-Joe Montana days.

Nope, no football, can't get good reception in our igloos ;) (Just kidding ;) ) Lots of stuff here is the same, I think you're going to like it here :) Well, aside from winter (sorry about that in advance)

WELCOME TO CANREEF!! :) I look forward to pics of your new setup when you get it :) (a fresh start, how fun!)

:welcome: Glad to hear you're going to stay in the hobby :biggrin:

Me too LOL, I told my husband I would move to Canada only if I could set up another tank. :multi: So he agreed.

A good friend of ours is going to take my current tank and take care of it for me and then give everything (that is still alive in 3 yrs) back when we move back. Although I told him I would split all the corals with him if he wants to stay in the hobby .This will be his first SW tank, but if I can do it, he can too. I am going to miss my Blue Spotted Jawfish though. It is my favorite fish I have right now. But on the other hand I am looking forward to trying something new!

hey welcome to CANREEF too. well you do have the right place to check out salt water questions. you and must check out BAYSIDE CORALS when you get in to SASKATOON, that guy has the amazing stuff that he sells and im 6 hours aways from him too...

once again welcome EH !!!!!!!! :lol:

+1 on checking out Bayside Corals, awesome store and I love my green Palys. And welcome to Canreef!

the colts? isnt that where my qb eli's deadbeat brother plays :) :lol:

welcome to canada. when you get here

Welcome to CanReef and Welcome to Canada.

Deadbeat?? Did I read that right? Who won when we went head to head with "your gb"? We did! :pm Which qb holds the most records? And who has a children's hopital named after him? My man Peyton does. :mrgreen: Now who's the deadbeat brother? LOL Wouldn't it be awesome if Colts and Giants went to Super Bowl this year?!

We will be in Canada house hunting Oct. 22 thru the 24th and actual move date is undetermined yet but looking at sometime Nov 15 to Dec 15th. Just in time for the cold weather season...brrrrrr

Ha, ha, check the weather now, the cold is already here, even in the balmy Okanagan Valley!! Welcome to the Cool Pool.

uh oh..... it is supposed to snow there this week.
You will find the a great past time for people living in British Columbia is to harras the poor silly frozen people of the Prairies :lol:
ps you dont have any season tickets you won't be using do you? :mrgreen:

You had to tell me that didn't you. It is in the 50's here for the high's and 40's for the low's. Although my 7 yr daughter is looking forward to lots of snow!

No we don't have any season tickets. Last year we got 62" HD TV with Bose sound system and that is a better seat then at the stadium. LOL (and this tv is coming with us) Although I did want to go to a least one game to see the new stadium. Don't think I will make it now. Oh well.

You daughter is going to be very very happy. I lived in Regina when I was about that age, I loved the snow then :biggrin:

update
 

Hi all,
Well we have finaly made it to Saskatoon! We arrived on Nov. 25. Now that most of the unpacking is finished and we are getting settled in, I am hoping to start with my new Solana 34 gal tank in the next week or two. I will post pics as I go.

Welcome! Be sure to check out Bayside Corals here in town if you haven't already. It's all we got but we all love it anyway :mrgreen:

welcome to Canada......hope your staying warm.

Hi and welcome!

Colby gives great service for sure.
He impressed the pants off of me with all his help tracking down my order.

where are your pants now:mrgreen:

oh ya Welcome to CANREEF you are now A GAPPER

OK, Sorry but I have to ask, what is a GAPPER?

a Gapper is a term we use where Alberta and Manitoba have this Gap in between them....... EH .:lol:

Mike (Asmodeus) is a good guy, but he makes stuff up. I have never heard of a GAPPER.

I think you might have been a little too close to the last blast on your latest avalanche patrol Mike. :razz::razz:


Oh... and a big Welcome to Canada MrsBugmaster!!

[quote=asmodeus;479314]where are your pants now:mrgreen:

Actually its used all over the military,
i just assumed that it would have leaked out to the civilian world. that is what you get for assuming.:sad:

[quote=Leah;479378]

I'm glad you made it to Canada and I'll be waiting for pic's of your tank when you get it up and running.

LOL... I think I missed something. :lol:
