Glad to be part of the forum guys, this is my first post. My fiancee and I are very new to the hobby, so far we have found reef keeping to be many things.. Extremely interesting, educational, fun, expensive, and sometimes frustrating. So far we love it, and I have a buddy who has a 155g.

WOW!!! For proclaimed newbies, you guys are doing a fantastic job. Your tank and corals look good enough for a seasoned hobbiest. Your friend is a good mentor apparently.
