    Just dropping in to say hello from Austin, TX.

    I'm currently running a 90g mixed reef (SPS dominant) tank that's been up for 1.5 yrs.

    I've been involved in the hobby since the late 80's when I had my first saltwater tank - a 75G with an undergravel filter, 2 hardware store fluorescent lights and a big honkin' canister filter! (That was high tech back then).

    I got back into the hobby about 2 yrs ago when my wife bought me a 29G freshwater setup. Lucky for me, the tank was broken in the shipping box, so I looked at it and said, "we're making this things saltwater!!". As she says, "That was when I created a monster". The rest is history.
