Ah, my first post on a new forum. Just doesn't feel quite like the very first time! :shock: posting that is... :lol:

Anyway, I'm just starting the investigation and education process for conversion to a reef after having freshwater tanks for most of the 90's.

Read about Aquatic Warehouse here at 6:45 tonight - called - open still - put shoes back on and zoomed over - just 10 minutes away.

Had a nice 45 minute chat with Tamer Aly. Seems helpful and very willing to help from a newbie POV.

Actually more impressed with this new operation than I was with 2 other established SA stores that I visited last weekend. Could be I'm just not impressed with places that appear rundown and neglected. <shrug>

Anyway, as I gain more knowledge I'm sure that I'll have lots of questions.

Best to all this holiday season.
