Profiles for tanks

[chinshaw]

It would be useful for users to add a tank profile. This would describe their equipment they are using as well as the reef and livestock.

As I mentioned before, comprehensive profile creation would be great. Make it simple for accounts to be created but optionally asking for the moon is fine. LinkedIN has a great model in that your profile is constantly measured against others in terms of depth and reach.

For equipment: make and model would allow us to link out to the vendors that carry those items. Allow for not just documenting these items but rating them as well. "bang for your buck" sorta thing...can be used later to scrub for recommended set ups...even though we won't be in the business of building or supplying actual tank parts, we can still comb our users for worthwhile configurations, allowing for budget options, review, etc.

For livestock: an ancestry would be great...as in where and/or from whom it was acquired. Allow for user to tag user name from other sites (reef2reef for instance). This lineage can be used later in determining "soundness" of transaction.
