Not to take away from here, but have you checked out the local reef clubs in Madison and Milwaukee? There are some good locals that are always more than willing to help out. It's a great local community. I can only speak for the WRS, I haven't dealt with the MARS club too much, but they both seem to be good clubs.

however, I don't want to take away from here, this place is awesome and also full of great people and information!!
 
I have met one of the guys that runs the mars site. He actually encouraged me to go to my first frag swap last weekend in janesville.
:)
 
That's awesome! I had plans this weekend otherwise I would have been there as well.
 
Welcome to R2R!! Nice looking tank!! :)
 
Welcome Steve. Tank looks good.




You've found a great community with R2R




I also agree with zesty and check out the local clubs. I lived in Brown Deer (Milwaukee) in the mid 90's and wished I would have found them then. I'm now associated with a local club here in NJ.

How do you like the skimmer on this tank? Don't know if you still have it or what but I'd like any feedback you have on it.
 
Welcome to R2R. Nice tank ;)
