New From Carrollton, Texas

[washingtond24]

Hello

New to the forum from Carrollton, Texas but was born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado which is the reason for the flag on my Avatar.

I along with my wife Tippie have two reef tanks a 75 gal that has been up now for nine years and consist of LPS and Soft corals. The other tank is a 200 gal tank that has been up for just over 4 years now and consists of SPS corals. At one time we also had three freshwater tanks but decided that was too much with all the travel I do for work.

I am looking forward to interacting with everyone on R2R.

Welcome to R2R David!
I grew up in Colorado Springs (for the most part -- Dad was army so we lived there 3 different times)...and I preached some in Carrolton when I first started out...and I have a 75g LPS & Softies tank and a 135g SPS tank. Other than that, we've got nothing in common :wink:
Enjoy R2R!

hola David

Wow, try to escape some people and they seem to find you. David is a MOD for DFWMAS, and always conducts himself in a professional manner, is always willing to give advice, and a all-around nice guy.....he will make a welcome addition to R2R. I've seen his tank and he has more softies per gallon then anyone I've seen, but they co-exist and he has a beautiful tank.

And he won't bug everyone asking for zoa ids like some members of DFWMAS.........

I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome and it goes to show how small the world really is with all the people associated with Colorado and Texas. I really look forward to being here. I will be posting some pictures of our tanks today.

Here are some pictures from our 75 gal LPS/Soft Coral tank. It has been setup for nine years now. This was our first reef tank.
