Hi, I've had fish off and on since I was four or five. There were always goldfish in the stock tanks growing up. When I got to college the only pets I could have in the dorms were fish so I had little freshwater tanks. When I got an appartment of course I had to upgrade and got into brackish fish with my little avacado puffer, Grendal( he's tough as nails actually survived having a ceiling fall on him once). Then I played around with planted tanks a bit. This summer I got a 65g from my mother who had finally given up on growing tilapia in it. Of course the obvious choice was to set it up as a salt water tank. I'm still in college so I've been keeping it pretty minimal to minimize cost. Currently I've got hermit crabs, a mocha clownfish, royal gamma, and a target Mandarin. There are also a few frags and some chaeto. Starting in Jan I plan on adding a refugium and hopefully an auto top off.

Welcome home, you will love it here!

Let’s see the 65 gal! Keep us posted with your progress with lots of photos! :)
 
Yep. The Rolla LFS doesn't carry saltwater anymore so I get my stuff from St louis though.

That's true, we have some pretty awesome LFS up here. What's your favorite LFS here? I'm in lake saint Louis.
 
So far it's Seascape Studio. I've been really happy with the fish I've gotten from them.

Yep, Joe's store is very good. All my fish I have now came from there. Thumbs up! :)
