Glad I was referred to this forum, what a great site!! A little about me - I've been in the reefing hobby around 4 years now and grew up keeping freshwater aquariums. My first reef tank was an 8 gallon biocube, which quickly became a 20L, which became 2 X 55gallons, which now became a 7' 150, lol. I am in the process of purchasing a home and am about to have to move the tank which I am not looking forward to, but once settled in will start moving towards an even bigger tank. I am looking at both a 240 and a 300 as a 8ft tank will fit perfectly on the wall of this particular house.

I'll post some pics soon on the site, but my setup is pretty basic. A mixed reef with a wide variety of fish, halides and t5's for lighting, koralia's for movement, skimmer and fuge in sump for filtration (have 30+ mangroves sucking No3 and Po4, 60+ days since last water change and still undetectable levels). I love this hobby and the ocean, just not fond of what it does to my wallet, lol...

Anyways, look forward to meeting fellow hobbyists here and hopefully learning alot! :nerd:
 
Welcome to R2R! Great to have you here!
 
Welcome to R2R! Sounds like a great set-up you have.
 
bout dam time you made it here bro... btw need help moving let me know you got my #
 
LOL!! You guys are awesome.... Thank you all for a warm welcome, def. stoked for a new forum to browse while I pretend to work...

Lars - Believe it or not I actually don't go to WWC that much anymore which is crazy b/c I only live about 15 minutes north of the store. My coral purchasing seems to go in waves where I'll buy alot of new stuff, then don't visit the lfs's for several months as I get mad at myself for spending the $, lol...

Jestr - Thanks again bro for the frags last night, they look great and can't wait for them to grow... I might just take you up on the offer when we move, its gonna be such a pain moving this tank - I literally am planning on syphoning the water down the stairs into the back of a truck, then carrying all the LR, corals, etc. down in buckets... def. gonna suck.. Oh, and by the way feminine umbrellas rule. How's the mp40s doing?

bryanhall - nod your head to this..... Someday I need to finally make it over to see the tank and finally meet... Bout time for a frag party, any takers??? Oh, and also I just want you to know that I have always been down, down.. If I ever get to thank you, you... Then just let me do it now....
 
Stoked to see the pics! Im in Orlando to. Thats an awesome idea of syphoning the water down the stairs to a truck.. I have to remember that when i have to move out of my 2nd story APT..
 
Nanoreefbro - definitely visit World Wide Corals and Aquaria Studios, and thanks for the welcome!

J Rog - we'll have to meet up sometime and see each other's tanks... And, that is EXACTLY what I am doing, moving a 150 from our 2nd story apartment with a winding staircase.. ARRGGHH!! lol...... (I enjoy complaining)

Jestr - I am coming back over soon to watch the waves go back and forth in your tank.. Ahhhhhh, mp40s.... ::drools::
 
Welcome. I've found Reed2Reef is so much better than the "other" forums out there. Its feels more like family, and you feel like you get to know the people here. Mods are terrific too.
