i used to live in charlotte... does that count?
As far as names, even though i have only been on this board for a couple of months, i think i have done plenty of reading (from this board and other books) to get a better grasp on saltwater keeping. But then again, i still have a long road to go to gain the experience needed to be considered knowledgable. As of now, all my knowledge is just theoretical or based on what i read from other peoples experience. but like most things, i need to see to believe, and i have a very long road ahead of me. but at least my road is full of enjoyment and beautiful creatures (which i must add, none have died since i joined the board) first ones were from LFS suggestions such as adding DAMNsels into my tank to cycle it.
But I do find most of the people on this book share the same views as the authors of the books i am reading.
