Are there any Freshwater Newbies out there?  Or are you just afraid to post?

Do you guys think I should open up the Newbies Threads to Annonymous posting?

We're slowly getting the word out about our club and site.  We've been putting flyers into some of the local fish stores.  We're a club that is setup for both Fresh and Saltwater Hobbyist.  Most of our members are split and interested in both sides of the Hobby.  We feel that some and most techniques in the Hobby can be used for both sides and be benificial to all.  Alot of the people that are on the site that only have Marine tanks started out for years as freshwater hobbist.  So they have lots of experience they can provide to both sides, and who knows maybe someday you'll be interested in starting up a Marine tank as well, and running both Fresh and Marine Tanks.  Especially if you have the help of all of us to get you familiar with it.

Thanks for posting and please feel free to post away and also post pictures of your tank.

I just found this site. I had been reading aquariumadvice, that's how I got most of my information when I started.

i am by no means a noob but i was just told about the club again by someone on toledofreecycle so i decided to check it out. i'm on a few other sites already trying to help out as much as i can. but either way i'm just glad to find something local.

as for any noobs wanted to keep anonymous you can always feel free to ask me anything you need. chances are if u've shopped at petsmart or sweetfeed in the last year or two i've already helped ya anyway. well actually just about any fish store for that matter i always get roped into helping wherever i go. either way gotta embarassing question feel free to hit me up

Whats Toledo Free Cycle?

It's a Yahoo group people use to give away stuff.  It's a great way to get rid of stuff you don't want.  You advertise something, people e-mail you if they want it, you pick someone to give it to, and they come pick it up.  No selling allowed, just giveaways.  There is another group called Toledo Cafe for selling stuff.

A friend of mine with a marine tank found you all, and when she found out you have freshwater people too she immediately shared your info with me, and here I am.

I started writing a big old intro, but I'll look to see if there's a place for those.

I'm a big freecylcer too!  Been freecycling since before Toledo had one and the closest one was the motorcity one(Detroit).  I saw one of you works at Sweetfeed and PetSmart.  I go to SweetFeed fairly regularly for horse stuff, and am headed up there in the next few days to get some Evo for my dogs.  The rescue I work with has our home base at the PetSmart in Spring Meadows.

I wonder if I've seen you when I've been in eyeing the fish at SweetFeed??

I probably didn't talk to you at PetSmart because usually I have to sneak off for brief moments from the insanity to gaze longingly at the fishes, and don't get anything because I don't trust the dogs not to accidentally burst the bags on the way home.

I have to have at least met you I would think, given how often I'm there!  I was the one giving everyone fliers to hand out at the registers  for our last Max & Erma's deal.
