Well, it's 2010! Happy New Year everyone!

CoralReef (Amy) and I have been PMing lately about how we can make the Appalachian Reef Society (ARS) more active. We have exchanged several ideas but before we can really start working on them, we need to know how big (or small) the group is.

Let's see how many members are still visiting this forum. Let's do a quick roll call. Reply on this thread with the following info:

Name: (or handle)
Location: (City, State)
Saltwater experience: (number of months/years you have been on the saltwater hobby)
Tank Size: (specify all if running multiple tanks)
Tank Type: (Fish Only, Fish Only with Live Rock (FOWLR), Reef)
FTS: (Optional - latest full tank shot (FTS) pic or link to FTS pic)

Anyone know how we can make this thread sticky-ed?
