I took the trek out there on Saturday with my wife and baby. Both Sonny and Brian (I think those are the right names) were both friendly and helpful. Sonny worked with me on a couple of Corals and even gave me a little discount. In the end I bought a good piece of coral, a couple of frags, some snails and since I had a jersey on, even got a free hermit crab. I was a disappointment that didn't have what they had on their website for a particular fish (I was looking for a Flame Angel) considering they had a buy one get one free sale. Sonny explained that he hadn't updated the website but planned to soon. However, all in all it was worth the road trip.

I agree, although each $20 does seem to add up doesn't it? I'm quite the obsessive personality. Once I commit, I dive completely in! Thanks. I must admit I wouldn't have all of the frags and fish if it weren't for this guy I bought my live rocks from. I'm an avid forums browser and was doing a lot of research before I actually bought my tank. I'm waiting for the corals to open up and I plan to take a trip to Mr. Corals today then I'll be posting pics of my newbie tank. I plan to attend. I do have my niece's birthday party that day but I plan to rush right after and see what these meetings are all about. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm glad I paid the money for membership. I'm usually a lurker on forums but it seemed like a good club to join.

Hi, I just wanted to shoot a brief intro to WAMAS community. I just got my 55 Gallon Tenecor Aquarium w/built in overflow for Christmas and decided to go saltwater. Much like a lot of people, my first stint into the hobby was with Freshwater fish but since this tank had a built in overflow with an AMiracle SL-50 Wet/Dry sump, I decided to give my hand at Saltwater. I had always been interested in Saltwater but I was always daunted by the costs and complexity. Anyway, It's only been a month and I am already hooked! My current setup is as follows: -55 Gallon Tenecor Stand w/ built in overflow -Amiracle SL-50 Wet/Dry w/ Rio 1700 -SeaClone SCPS 100 Skimmer w/ MaxiJet 1200 -For water flow I am running 2 Rio 600's and 1 Maxi Jet 900 w/ Hydor Flo attachment -Orbit 4x65 PC Lighting -75 Lbs of Live Rock -Coralife PureFlo II RODI Inhabitants: -Yellow Tang -Six Line Wrasse -2x Maroon Clown -Pajama Cardinal -Canary Blenny -Yellowfin Damsel -Neon Goby -Electric Blue Clam -Porcelain Crab -Coral Banded Shrimp -3x Peppermint Shrimp -Multiple Hermit crabs -Multiple Snails Corals: -Cabbage -Orange Zoas -Xenia -Colt -Bubble -Spaghetti -Green Mushroom -Red Mushroom -Hairy Mushroom -Star Polyps -Plate Coral Anemone -Seabae -Bubbletip I will take a few pics and update this thread this weekend. I picked up a lot of the frags and live rock from a guy leaving the hobby so I'm not sure if I have all the right names down. Maybe some of you can tell me exactly what some of these things are! Anyway, I hope to learn a few things from people here as I am currently already thinking I need a bigger tank! ~JoeDaddy
