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
