r/Aquariums • u/Fishtails • Mar 29 '17
Welcome your new team! Announcement
Today we inducted three new moderators that we're excited to introduce.
/r/Aquariums has been growing a lot recently, and we mods decided that we could use a little extra help.
You'll be seeing some changes around here and I'm confident that it will be for the better. So without further adieu, give a wet welcome to /u/thefishestate, /u/JosVermeulen, and /u/Ka0tiK!!!
With that being said, it's with a heavy heart that I am also here to tell you that this will be my final post in here as a moderator. /u/otp1144 and /u/LoachLicker will be leading the charge for the foreseeable future, and I've no doubt that they'll continue doing an excellent job, they have since day one.
So I apologize for being an absentee moderator for the past year or so, but having a new addition to my family has kept me with my fins full.
It's been a great 4-5 years and I'm really excited to see what the new team will do around here. Who knows, maybe I'll be back in the future, maybe not. I'll still be posting in the sub, though.
Thanks folks, it's been real. And congrats again to /u/thefishestate, /u/JosVermeulen, and /u/Ka0tiK!!!

Yeah we've got 3 new mods but you could probably add a betta and at least one pleco too.

Haha, I like the idea that this subreddit is a giant community tank. We need more plants and decor to break up the line of sight!

I'm honored to be part of the team! I'm excited to be part of a subreddit that's been really helpful to me and to give back in similar ways.
I'm hoping to improve some content with focus on the wiki, as well as possibly some new discussion ideas!

Hey guys! I'm super excited to be welcomed to the team.
I'm committed to being a force for good (or for awesome) on the sub, and I look forward to being able to serve the community I've come to love over the past few years.
