    new to the site, semi-new to the reef life...ive only had one s/w tank before, but no reef set up, just an eel and some live rock(boring), went on deployment and the wife couldnt keep up with the maitenance so....anyways now i have a 36g with about 25 or so lbs of l/r and im slowly but surely adding the coral...anyways just wanted to stop by and introduce myself....

    Welcom to 3reef Shaun!
    It'd be great to see some pics and hear more about your set up! :)
