While I applaud the addition of this forum for those of us in Illinois and, for the most part, the Chicagoland area, it concerns me that we keep posts/threads on the topic of reef aquarium keeping. There is already a well-established forum on another site where those who are interested can discuss, at length, non-reef-keeping topics, even within reef-related threads. It would really disappoint me to end up with CMAS forum, version 2, here at R2R.
