He never won anything before....well, other than my heart and he better stay excited about that one...lol...but all the way home he kept saying"guess what? i just won 4 frags!" he's such a dork

Hello everyone!
My name is Ricky and I am a 25 year old newbie. My dad gave me his 54gallon bow front tank. He also told me about the website. I have been doing a lot of reading before i decided to join. It has been very useful so far.
My dad has had his newest tank for about 9 years and its beautiful. I have a new appreciation for the hobby now that I am trying to do it myself. Its not easy like I thought it was growing up.
I got my first fish yesterday a baby Kole tang.
Wish me luck

I've realized that I've never introduced myself to the club...and now that I am a GB Manager and I have met a bunch of you, I figured I should do so.
My name is Steve and I live in East Hanover. I got into the Saltwater & Reefing hobby about 3 years ago. Before that I had Freshwater tanks for about 10 years. When I first got into the hobby I didn't know anything at all. I learned everything I know for doing research on the internet...a lot of reading and a lot of asking questions and reading threads from here as well as many other forum sites.
I currently have a 180 Gallon DT with around 200 lbs. of LR, a 30 Gallon sump with an additional 40 lbs of LR, running 2 Eheim return pumps, an ASM G3 skimmer with Sedra 5000 pump. The lights are a Coralife 3x250Watt Metal Halides running 14k Phoenix bulbs and 4x96Watt Power Compact Actinics, then it's also got 4 built in moonlights. Besides the 2 return pumps, I also have 2 Vortech MP40W's for flow.
On a personal note, I spend my days as a sales producer and owner of S&P Insurance Agency. The time I'm not working, I'm thinking about where I should go on vacation. My other hobby that I am very much into is Scuba Diving.
I hope to be able to meet many of you soon!

Steve - that was great. I had to go back thru this thread to see if I intro'd myself or not (i did, page 17 in 2007). I can't believe I researched on this board almost a year before launching the tank. Wow...I don't have that kind of self-control anymore...impulse impulse impulse now...hahahah.
Hi everyone...
My name is Jami. I'm a Detroit native (go Wings!) who has been in NJ about three years. I love it out here and I'm getting settled enough to dive back into my favorite hobby. As far back as I can remember i have been interested din fish. I was breeding guppies & mollies and selling them to neighborhood kids by the time I was 7 or 8. I setup my first SW tank around 1996 or so and have been addicted ever since. My tank progerssion since then is as foIlows:
55g FOWLR
22g acrylic softie reef... I started small. Bad call.
75g mixed reef
120 mixed reef
240 mixed reef... Got in over my head w/ cost on this one. Scaled down
60g GLA cube SPS tank
Then I moved to NJ and took a break for a few years.
I currently have a 30 gallon Finnex M-Tank at home and a 5.5 gallon rimless pico at my office. I have finally gotten the go ahead from the wife to upgrade. Now I just have to figure out what I want to do next.
Looking forward to meeting many of you & joining in!
