New to the group thanks for having me.

[Dallas]

I am new to the group and new to the hobby. I will always be learning especially the coral side, something I am just diving in to. I am now living in Colorado Springs and a member of the reef club here (SCMAS), But am being retired for the Air Force and will be making San Antonio my home once again. I started out with a 20g and have just finished my 60g cube build. I am in to the coral side and my g/f is the fish boss. I am looking forward to being an active part of this group. Everything I have read this looks like a really great group.

I what just thinking that. I am at my work computer and as soon as I get home I will put them up. The big think I wish I could do better on my 60g is the sump. I have a 20g as my sump now. But wish I could get a box shape in there.

I will take more pic's with the over flow box and all that soon. I know it's not the greatest job, I am still learning and like ever one on a budget. I any one has some advice or some criticism, I am open to it. Thanks for taking a look.

Yes I have been to Doyle's (hooked) quite a bit, Marty's (ritmar), he live really close to me), Joe (JLAWRENCE32) and Josh (notxes11). Doyle has been a huge help and I moved Josh'es 180g last week. There are a lot of us off of powers so that is really nice. What side of town do you live?
