Hello From Afghanistan!

[Pixelfish]

Hello everyone,

- My name is Justin, I was born in miami and grew up in tampa. I am currently stuck in the mountains of middle east and have 11 months left ha-ha.

- I love orchids, but know nothing about them =) my grandfather in miami grows many, but I have not yet attempted.

- I have been into saltwater aquariums for the last 6 years and right before this tour I had to break down my aquarium for the 3rd time =( I plan on leaving the Army after this year tour and going to get my masters down in FL somewhere maybe USF,UCF,UF or UM..who knows.
I am going to do something besides aquariums until I settle down somewhere.

- I am very interested in building an amazing vivarium with a couple Poison Dart frogs as pets, I figure If I have to move it would be alot easier than 50g of water, fish and coral. I plan and want to learn all I can about orchids here as I would love to grow them and possibly put them in a vivarium with my frogs for now.

- My other hobbies include brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Surfing, Music and Art.

Thanks for reading!
