Hi everyone

Hi Everyone,

I'm obviously new here.  I've checked out the forums a couple times over the years, but never signed on.
A bit of my history in aquarium keeping:
I had a fresh water aquarium as a kid, but only for a short while.
Then in my 20's I had a 30gallon saltwater setup, which I ran "OK" for about 1 year, until I took it down.
Time passes, we grow up...now I have kids and decided to setup an aquarium for them/me.
I've been running a simple 10gallon fresh water tank for about 1.5 years now.  I've made some mistakes along the way, but the tank is doing well.

The fresh water tank and my kids interest in it, have re-inspired me to get back into Saltwater/Reef.
I may have the slowest build going, as I've been picking up bits and pieces of equipment since the spring and haven't set anything up yet.

My current project, which I'm quite excited about is a 75g reef tank, which I hope to finally have water in it by the end of the month.

I will likely be talking with a number of people here and look forward to being part of the community.
