My name is Mike and this is my first post. I have been keeping freshwater for 30 years. I am from Western PA. My wife has been begging me for a saltwater tank for at least 5 years. About 4 months ago I decided I would get her one for Christmas. So I started researching and reading the forums here and have learned a ton. So yesterday my wife's present came. It's a 120 gallon with 2 Hydra 52s.
