    New to the site and the whole forum deal but thought i would give it a shot. Looking to meet more people interested in the saltwater hobby. I started my 90 gallon mixed tank with a 30 gallon sump the first week of December 2011. Now 10 months later its not looking too bad for my first time at this hobby it has been a learning process to say the least but my wife and I love the results. As far as corals go i would like to collect as many different types of Zoa's as possible and am looking forward to gettting to a point where i can frag out some of mine for trade. I'm glad to try and help answer any questions about me or my setup. I've put together a list of tmy current setup.

    Sounds like a great looking setup. Our local Cedar Rapids/Iowa city Region is having a tank tour this weekend and it would be a great time to meet everyone in your area. Our stops are full, but people coming to them the more the better. We will be ending at my house to finish watching the Hawkeye game in my Theater room. Pot luck and drinks should be a great time, so come join in if you can.

    Thanks for the invite I am interested in attending a tank tour sometime would like to see what others have around here but i will be on my way to Tinely Park a suburb of Chicago that morning for the North American Reptile Breeders Conference. This will be the third year my wife and I go since she is a ball python breeder and i invest in her company lol but on the plus side i will be picking up some new zoa's which i'm more excited about from Aquatica Tinely Park a great all around salt and fresh water fish store as well as corals that we found by accident last october looking for a bakery. Sucks i have to miss the Hawkeye game as well but i'm sure listening to it on the radio will be just as much fun.............
