Hi Reefers,
I lived in N.J. most of my live but became a Snowbird this past year, with plans of living in FL for 6 months/yr and R.I. 6 mo/yr. (My wife and I just moved to R.I. 3 weeks ago from FL). I've been in the hobby for over 50 years; (SPS for 25 yrs). I had a veterinary hospital & pet shop in N.J. for 29 years which I closed 6 years ago. (I'm an Avian Specialist). When in N.J., I was a SPS vendor at shows, including Reefapalooza, for many years and I am starting over again after all my moving around.
My biggest challenge will be maintaining systems in two states. Initially, I will be moving livestock back and forth every 6 months....(I have an electric car).... but eventually hope to maintain systems remotely with GHL controllers, cameras, etc....and hopefully a friend! With every trip/season, I hope to fine-tune my system until I feel confident leaving livestock behind. (I will also wait until I have a duplicate set of corals in each state in case I lose any).
I've been active on R2R and want to do the same with the Boston Reefers. Thanks for having me!
Jim
