Hi guys, I've spend most of my adult life in Baldwin County but have been in Utah for the last 5 years (brrrr) and just got back a few months ago.
I currently have three tanks set up (yes I have a bad case of MTS) and one on standby.
Current salt water set up is a 47 gal with T5HO, magnum canister and an hang on back filter with two bio wheels (was rated for 75 I think) It has been in cycle for about three months now. Current livestock are a few snails, 3 shrimp and a couple of mohawk blennies all came from the west beach bridge area in Gulf Shores. These critters are temporary except the shrimp as once I get a protein skimmer, a power head, and some live rock I'll be working on making it a reef tank.
I am interested in joining your organization but didn't see any postings regarding dues, meeting times or other such things any information on this is appreciated. Also, do you accept people new to salt water? I've done research mainly over at another forum that out of respect for you guys, I won't mention and have learned a lot of theory, just not a lot of practical knowledge yet.
I also have a 55g live bearer tank with live plants (trying to talk the wife into another T5HO for that one) so I'm looking for a fresh water club as well so suggestions there would be appreciated.
Anyway, enough about me, I look forward to getting to know you folks.
