I just wanted to say HELLO! I'm new on this forum and can't wait to meet you guys/gals in the future :wink:
Just to give you some info about my addiction, I currently have a 180 AGA with corner overflows running mostly SPS. I've been reefing since 2001. one Birthday long ago my wife bought me a 75 Oceanic, little that she know that will turn into a real addiction :D

Welcome to the forum.

Do you plan to move to DFW or just joining us on the forum? By the way, your tank shot looks great.
 
We have been thinking about moving for the last few years, we are tired of the Chicago winters. Back in 1990 we moved to the San Antonio area and since then we wish to go back.
We hear the DFW area is very nice and will probably take a trip out there before we move. As of know we are waitng for my wife's job to make a desicion if she can transfer, once that's finalize I will start looking for a job myself.
 
sweet, welcome to the forum, and maybe the town, we have a big group here, over 500 members, so you will have a nice support group for your addiction, and i like the tank, very clean looking.
 
Thank you again, I hope we will soon but I haven't decided if I will sell everything and start fresh, I never had to move a tank for longer than a few days so I don't want to lose anything. I guess we will cross that brigde when its time.
Tank was cycling for about 5-6 months (lost track) and has been runing fully stock since 4/07, I have added some more colonies since the last shot and making a desicion in ordering some more :?:
 
Serk, I like your sig. what controller are you using? I recently got the Light House from Premium Aquatics.

Ricky - Thanks! I'm using the Lighthouse as well... Most of my actual controlling is done from custom scripts on my Linux server, but I needed something to get data back to the server, so I went with the Lighthouse, since I didn't need all the extra stuff on the higher $$$ controllers... Been very happy with it!

If ya' wanna see how the signature's done (And get one of your own) check out this thread:

Hi Ricky:

Very nice tank and pics!
What part of Illinois are you in? I have a sister living in Fox River Grove.
 
Welcome to the forums!

If you decide to move here, I'm sure you could ship your critters to either one of the local stores to hold for you (and they would charge you, I'm sure!) or maybe there would be a member of the club willing to hold them for you until you are ready to set up your tank.

It's happened before :wink:
