Hello everybody. I have been on ReefCentral for several months now, and just recently became aware of MR. Thought I'd say hello, and hope to talk to many of you on the message boards in the future!

Maybe you can tell us something about your tank in the meantime - and welcome to your new reef home! :)

Thanks! Well, this is my first saltwater experience. I started the tank up in January as a FOWLR, but quickly realized that the corals are half the fun! I am currently in the process of figuring out how to convert from the canister filter that I have to a sump (space issues in the stand under the tank).

I am running T5 lights, as I will not be going for the more exquisite SPS corals. I am actually considering adding two more bulbs, though, to add a little more light for the corals. I am also running an Aqua C Remora protein skimmer, and auto-topoff system from AutoTopOff.com

The live rock is from Tampa Bay Saltwater - an aquaculturist out of Florida. The rock is so great with so much life I didn't expect on it.. the exception is a few bad hitchhikers - I have three mantis shrimp that just DON'T want to be caught.

As soon as I'm done with this post, I will figure out how to upload some photos. :) Thanks again to all for looking!
