Good Morning Reefers. Just joined the community. Having less and less opportunities to snorkel around the world (Hawaii, Indonesia, Brunei, Venezuela, Aruba, Thailand, Texas), I found it necessary to put a reef in my house in Louisiana. Been pushing forward with this Biocube, Steves LED, Votec 40, In Tank Refugium and Filter Tray, battery backup w/surge protection, upgrade circulation pump. Did some dumb things and successful with others. Mostly with respect to Aquascaping and corals proximity to each other and possibly over populating. I have enjoyed reading the forums here and found value in joining in with the saltwater reefing community of Reef2Reef. So far So good. This is me, 6 months in. I wanted to thank you all for helping me even though you didn't know you did!

Just down the road from you in Lake Charles.
Awesome. Do you ever populate or feed your tank from the GOM. I fished for years in Hackberry with and without the Rod and Gun Club Guide - JY Constance. Seems the waters are teaming with life there.
