Hi. I've been reefing now for only 9 months so there's a lot to learn yet, I know. I've got three tanks set up - a 90g display w/ sump (which I really wish I had drilled!), 29g Biocube(that my wife encouraged me to get because she liked the look of the 90 - thank God she doesn't know how expensive this hobby is!), and a 10g tank for a hitchhiker mantis shrimp (I just couldn't get rid of him at the time).

Most all of my corals in my 90 come from frags taken from local reefers here in the DC area, though I did get one colony from a LFS. I got a great deal on my 29 from one local hobbiest that spends a lot of time buying, building, upgrading, and downsizing.

I'm really enjoying the hobby and am a member of WAMAS, the Washington (DC) Area Marine Aquarist's Society.

I was drawn here, actually, when looking for information on a DIY magnetic frag rack. There's an informative thread here from panmanmatt on his builds back in January 2008. (Magnetic frag mounts)

I look forward to seeing what goes on here!
