Made the leap _/\_

Hello all,

Located in the Midwest and in my 30s, I have been dreaming of starting a SW aquarium for years. The intimidation factor with the endless amounts of information and initial cost have kept the hobby at bay. I have had a 35gal aquarium sitting empty in my office for almost 10 years and still look at daily. Well finally I decided, Its time to start living and stop dreaming. My wife suggested I start off slow and small and see how it goes. I stumbled across The HelloReef 15g kits and was immediately convinced that starting was an achievable goal. So, here we go, time to jump in and start swimming!
