Hello from Houston

Hello from Houston!

Long time reefer and lurker of the site and decided it was time to get going on here. I have kept both FOWLR and reef tanks for almost 20 years and spend the majority of my time propagating coral and running quarantine tanks for friends, family and other hobbyists in the area. I currently have six reef tanks and dozens of quarantine tanks running and always looking for others to enjoy them with.

Looking forwards to becoming a more active member of the community online. Here's a few quick shots of some of the stuff in the tanks.

Welcome! Glad you joined. GORGEOUS frags - looking forward to seeing them grow out as colonies as bet they'll be stunning!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Not a ton in it yet, but my build thread is on its way! Hopefully I can add more to it today.
