Welcome to Maast and Texas! Here is the link where you can find all the info you need on events. http://www.maast.org/forumdisplay.ph...-Announcements. What did you do as DOD? I worked at Lackland AFB for 3.5 years as a civilian contracter with SF. I too work at home and take care of my little one full time. My wife is not in the military though.

Bass fishing would be fun! We should go one day.

As for drilling your tank I know you can get it drilled at Reefs2U. I have a 100 gallon tank that is 48 x 24 x 20tall and I am running about 750 gph. It has pretty good flow but I am also using Koralias to add to it. I know you can get a stand at a fair price from just about any LFS in SA. Just check out the sponsors section in the main Forum or check out the for sale section people are always posting good stuff on there.
