Shout Out

[Lightning Whelk]

Hello Texas reefers just wanted to give a shout out & introduce myself. Names Jim
& located in San Marcos Texas. Lived down in the Rio Grande Valley back in the younger days.
Then in the madhouse Houston back in the early 80s to 86. Couldn’t take it anymore and
fled to Corpus Christ. There I lived for 10 yrs, during that tenure, I was fortunate enough to be chosen for an exhibit diver with the Texas State Aquarium for 5 yr. This is when the Saltwater Aquarium bug bit me. I’m on my 3rd saltwater tank now, but my first reef tank. . It’s a 55g with 60 pounds of LR & 60 pounds of LS.

Sailfin
Anthias
Falco
Torch coral
Flowerpot
Shrooms
Xenias
I also have a 20g tall sump/refugium with an ASM-G2 skimmer, chaeto, LR, LS in fuge area. Also run a Marineland C-360 Canister filters.

Lights are a couple 250 MH with 2, 110 blue moon florescent lights.

Hope to get to know all of you guys soon.

Question, what are the advantages in becoming a charter member, & how much does it cost?

Thanks for the warm welcome friends

I see the charter membership is only 25 bucks. Heck that's less then a 1/2 tank of gas. ..Seems I can afford that price... Looks like I'm gonna be a charter member..

I'll post some pictures of my 55g tank tomorrow.
