+1 to their frag plugs. One of the guys told me they are all handmade and copywritten? Not sure how that works unless it's the actual material or more of a general concept since each is unique. It's also possible that I have no idea what I'm talking about... all I know is that I'm regretting not buying the third frag I was eyeing.

Welcome and congrats on your new tank-- that's an awesome friend you have! You'll come to find the members of WAMAS bring a wealth of knowledge and encouragement for newbies like us .

Hello and welcome!

^ Oh man, I wish I would've come up with that name . Wow, those are nice looking Maximas! I was extremely happy with my Deresa-- best part was seeing him open and show his colors.

Awesome and congrats on the win!

Oh I must've missed those :(. The one I did pick up in Itty bitty but perky as all get out. Good luck with the set up, it's really helpful for those of us that are interested in doing something along those lines down the road!

Those are beautiful! What is the middle one called? I'm sure you picked these up on day 1? There wasn't much around on day 3.

Awesome, following along. Nems are quickly becoming my favorite tank residents

After I left MACNA I spent a good two hours on my tank arranging/re-arranging, weekly maintenance, and of course being attacked by my female clown. The good news is that everything fit although the tally is currently Me:0 Nem:1 since she's refused to come out of her basket and attach to anything else (although it's extending beautifully... when I can see it through the basket).

Hi and welcome! Best advice is what people have already said: take it slow! It's amazing how much your tank changes in the first months!

I've ordered from amazon before. The box came a little beat up (as expected) but two of the four salt bags were slightly open. I say slightly open as in a little corner of the bag was open and a small amount of salt was in the box. I called amazon and they refunded half of the purchase price but I think I'll stay local in the future.

Oh wow, great colors on those 'shrooms!

O M G, total fun thanks to our awesome planners! I didn't win anything in the raffles, but I shopped for some great finds and met some really great people . Oh and Karen Talbot (the amazing artist) told me this was the best MACNA she's attended!

Yay! I think the bag with the wrasse in it (with your name on it) was total confirmation! Awesome holding service by Shannon and Jim too .

I was definitely interested and thought they had some good ideas on real-time monitoring. I missed the presentation, but we stopped and chatted for about 15 minutes and it seemed promising. I hope it continues to move forward!

Welcome!

Beautiful! Totally following along!

I was fortunate to win one of the gift certificates Premium Aquatics donated to Frag Fest 2015. I can't wait to place my first order . Many thanks for supporting our club!

Pleasure meeting you today, Dan, I was very lucky and won two of the gift certificates to Avast! Not only was I able to take advantage of the awesome frag fest coupon you offered the club, but now I get to line up my second and third (and so on!) orders . Avast truly is yar :P Thanks for your club support!

Wow, looks great! Hoping mine looks that way eventually .

Congrats!!

Thanks! One of the reasons why I've been enjoying putting everything together, are the friendly people I've met at the vendor stores. Everyone seems really helpful and encouraging which is really helpful in taking the plunge

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and very addicted to reading as much as I can as I embark on my first reef set up. I've had a 120 freshwater (turtle) set up for 8 years, and saltwater always intimidated me. After staring at my empty bow front for 2 years, I finally took the financial plunge and ordered my equipment and thanks to Incredible Corals, got some amazing live rock to start cycling. I then decided I wanted a new stand, so I began construction on that (I've overcome the girl in the hardware store awkwardness). I'll post pictures in the diy area later (my cell phone died and I've been a little off with the pictures for a day). I figure if I posted hello in the forum then my build becomes "real"!
