well all new members should introduce themselfs. and welcome!
There's nothing wrong with lurking for a while to get a feel for the place, or even never posting. If you're not the kind of person who enjoys socializing with strangers, showing off your tanks, and you can get any questions answered or information needed with a simple search of the forums, what's the point in introducing yourself? ...aside from getting the reminder off your screen. The only reason I originally registered was to be able to see pics & links when coming across AC pages during Google searches. Took me a while to realize that the information and advice here was more reliable than most other places, and it was months before I bothered to start coming here specifically, to browse all of the forums. It was even longer than that before I began posting.
Now, I'm sure there's people that just wish I would shut up sometimes...
Anyhow, welcome to AC ksettle. I'd love to get a look at your tank if you care to share it someday.
