    Hello everyone, I thought since I have been following your site for about two years I should probably join.[​IMG]  I use Bob Fenners site and Sally Jo at Garf as well.  I like your site because your local and you seem to be a good group of people (you are Iowans).  I have been involved in salt for about 6 years now.  There are 5 of us at work who are full fledged fish nuts, which is odd because we only employ 22 people.  I have two 125 gallon tanks, one is in the wall and the other is a holding tank for a friends coral.  I enjoy softies and sps mostly.   I have ambitions to either build a large plywood/glass front tank or get a 220 to put in the wall where my 125 currently sits.  My friends and I have mostly stocked our tanks by doing large group buys from people getting out of the hobby.  
       Thanks for providing such a welcoming environment!  Keep up the good work!

    [class="Apple-style-span"]Welcome to GIRS![/class]
    [hr]There are quite a few online resources for reefers and I've always found it great to have such a wealth of information locally.
    It sounds like you are an advanced member, just new, and not really a "newbie" - are we going to see some more details of your tanks? Pics?

    Thanks Eric, I definitely would not say advanced!  As far as tank specs, I use a  hob remora skimmer with a mag7 on my sump which is just a modded 55 gallon.  I have a hob refugium with caulerpa and about 1 inch of aragonite.  I use filter floss on the sump to catch the big stuff.  I have a korlia 4 movin the water in the display.  The light is a coralife slim with 2 150s 14k and pc actinic on the sides.

    Thanks for joining Quam!

    The more the merrier.

    Where do you live & work? Are the others salt people too? There is one other at my work that is into salt out of 11 of us.

    Thanks xroads. I work for T&M services in Cedar Rapids. The others are all salt, they are the ones who sucked me into the saltwater vortex!
