I'm also a Floridian, but I'm among the few that live up in the Northwest panhandle (Pensacola). I recently found this site and wanted to make my introduction here.
My hobby experience is like this....I had several SW tanks set up during my college days. My girlfiend one day became my wife and all my makeshift aquariums vanished. 11 years of whining and begging finally resulted in 75 gallons of happiness. Two years later, I'm still loving my tank and I've grown considerably within the hobby. Several of us got together recently and formed a reef club. It's been a great experience so far and I'm now studying for my next challenge....breeding fish. Wish me luck.
