It's a pleasure to meet you! Glad to see you were able to find our forums. Both Sergeant Major and myself are extremely active, so if you have any questions or comments, just feel free to post or send us a PM.

What kind of fish do you keep?

Look forward to seeing you on the forums!


:D Welcome to Aquatopia.com!

Sergeant Major - January 15, 2006 04:23 PM (GMT)
Hello mitternacht,

Welcome. We just started this yesterday, so I apologise that we're a little content poor right now. But we'll be working on uploading some more content every day. Hopefully you'll stick around for it.

So what kinds of fish/tanks do you have?

Oh wait, nevermind, I just realised there was a link...
Fish: 55 gallon: 4 Angelfish, 1 Clown Loach, 1 Chinese Weatherfish??, 1 Rainbowfish, 5 Corydoras, 2 Skunk Loaches, 10 gallon: 2 Black Tetras, 4 Neon Tetras, 2 Tiger Barbs, 10 gallon: Lots of baby Swordtails! 20? gallon: 1 Kenyi Cichlid, 1 Brichardi, 1 Kribensis, 1 Electric Yellow Cichlid Birds: 4 Cockatiels, 7 Chickens, Mammals: 2 Cats, 3 Horses, 2 Dogs,

Sounds like you have a houseful.

From your nickname, I'm guessing that sie sprechen deutsch (you speak german). I too am part german, so I took 5 years of german classes, 3 in HS and 2 in college. But I've almost never used it since, so I know only about what I learned in the first class.

MAZZA_402 - January 15, 2006 04:56 PM (GMT)
I just realized there was a link, also, Sergeant Major. It does sound like you have a houseful!

It looks like you have a lot of experience with fishkeeping.

As S. Major said, we are just in the beginning. We have a lot of information and content we will be uploading every day, but we are glad you found our forum and hope you will stick around to our growing community.

I'll try to active. It aslo needs a skin. Is any way I can help? I know a lot about other animals as well. I suggest you shouldn't lock the topics. :blink:

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 12:48 AM (GMT)
:huh: Yeah, we locked the topics that we wanted to serve as reference guides to the discussions... but we arn't done editing them, so you'll have to bear with us on that...

We actually havn't quite fully figured out how to skin this forum yet... but I think Mazza will work on it tonight and tomorrow.

:D Yeah I picked Sergeant Major as a nick because my wife and I enjoyed watching them in Florida last year, and I served in the US Marine Corps when I first got out of HS (though I never reached that rank, or anything near it). So it kind of fit.

Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I'm guessing SA?

Cool. I saw some in Costa Rica. I'm kinda fit, I lost a pound running around in the school!

South Australia? No..the US.

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 01:30 AM (GMT)
Oh I was guessing South Africa from your link with the currency on it... You also seem well traveled.

So how do you skin these forums? I see it in the admin cp, but when I select it, it doesn't give me any options for different skins, or do I need to create the skin first? Or do I need to edit the css?

Can I do it? Please? I know how to get the skins.

MAZZA_402 - January 16, 2006 01:59 AM (GMT)
Thanks for the link on putting our topics in ABC order. I like the way your forum is put together.

Any topics you suggest unlocking? Are there any you would like to see discussion on?

I thought the Denison Barb was cool.

MAZZA_402 - January 16, 2006 02:08 AM (GMT)
The Denison Barb is a very nice looking one. A friend of mine sent me a picture of his. He had bought around 8 of them I believe. You couldn't imagine how nice they looked! They look wonderful by themselves, but when they are schooling, it's gorgeous!

Sound's nice! ;)

MAZZA_402 - January 16, 2006 02:12 AM (GMT)
Hard to find though from what I hear.

;)

But who knows.

Mitternacht - January 16, 2006 02:15 AM (GMT)
I've never seen them!

No, never been there. But if I was wouldn't I put "favourite"?

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 05:04 AM (GMT)
So what kind of skin were you thinking about?

Hah, I don't have permission to view either of those links...

Mitternacht - January 16, 2006 05:36 AM (GMT)
oh, sorry. If you make me admin for right now maybe I could do it?

http://forums.ifskinzone.net/index.php?showtopic=97835 = Finding Nemo skin

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 05:55 AM (GMT)
Ok, I added you to Admin for the time being... a finding nemo skin sounds good... can't see that link either though

Mitternacht - January 16, 2006 06:02 AM (GMT)
thank you! I will fix up your forum!

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 06:11 AM (GMT)
This looks great, thanks. I will have to do something about the text color though.

Mitternacht - January 16, 2006 06:14 AM (GMT)
Want me to do anything else?

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 06:17 AM (GMT)
No this looks good for now, I'm just trying to figure out where I was when I was looking at customizing a skin... it was this great AOI site that made the css file for you, all you had to do was to type in what you wanted... that would really help me edit the colors/pictures in this skin... But I really have to sleep tonight anyway.

Mitternacht - January 16, 2006 06:24 AM (GMT)
All right. If you need anything, just ask. :)

Sergeant Major - January 16, 2006 01:26 PM (GMT)
Ok, this is much much better with black text instead of DK blue on LT blue.

Mitternacht - January 16, 2006 04:45 PM (GMT)
Finding Nemo is much better, since its a fish forum.

this skin is boring

Sergeant Major - January 17, 2006 12:50 AM (GMT)
Sorry, Mazza was playing around with the skins today because he was afraid people would think it was a disney forum... He's been fired from skinning the forum... :lol:

MAZZA_402 - January 17, 2006 01:32 PM (GMT)
Hahaha! Fired from the skinning forum. :lol: <_<

Mitternacht - January 17, 2006 10:52 PM (GMT)
:lol:

looks better!

Sergeant Major - January 18, 2006 01:11 AM (GMT)
Sorry Mazza, but it sounds like the masses have spoken.
