hello everyone on GIRS!!

Hello from allen and jolene from South of  the Des Moines Area.  Yes-there are 2 saltwater fanatics in this house.  Works out good cause neither one gets in trouble for spending money on the tank!!! (As long as he buys my choice first--just joking!!!)
Still fairly new to Saltwater (3years).  So we have lots to learn and lots we would like to add to our tank!   We have been to a couple of the local frag swaps sponsored by GIRS and decided it was time to become members so we could help support a great club. Working on weekends really limits the events we can attend, but will try our best.   We really enjoyed the events we went to, and the people were very infromative and helpful.  
Our tank is currently a 180 gallon with 55 gallon sump. Approximately 225lbs live rock- Tank lighting is T-5 Constellation fixture.  Tank inhibitants are mostly fish and soft corals-frogspawn, hammer, leather, mushrooms,   zoas (not enough yet!!) , clam, xenia----no SPS at this time(maybe sometime down the road).  
My latest craze has been making a long list of zoas to add to our tank!!!  Maybe eventually some SPS if we get brave!!
 Look forward to meeting/chating with other members here and at some events

We are actually southeast of Indianola- about 25 miles west of you in Knoxville.  Not to far.
