Good Morning from Vancouver Island

[Sea Witch]

Hi there:

I thought I better introduce myself before I start posting I just moved to VI. Have a done a *lot* of FW over the years. Nothing set up at the moment. Preparing to do a first SW, and I figured I might as well go big or go home. Planning a big system. I'm trying to avoid a lot of the beginner mistakes.

I found the forum via half a dozen other forums. I'm happy to find a Can one that's all reef and *busy* too! Yeehaw!

I must warn you I'm a relentless question-asker. but I'll help where I can too.

THANKS!

Welcome to Canreef!

Where did you move from? I am always jealous of anyone who gets to live on an island, congrats on jumping over the strait.

Love your avatar, Delphinus. Got remarried, left behind an oil and gas career and 20 years in Calgary. Went from Garden Zone 3 to Garden Zone 7! I love it here. Mild weather and small town feel.

Hi neighbor! I live right near the PR ferry. I'll wave to you across the water.
