 |  Newbie here
Hi everyone. Just joined last night. Looks like a great site. 
I've been in the hobby (freshwater) for many years - and took the plunge into marine about 15 years ago. It went well, but only lasted about two years (gave up on it when I had my second child).
Well...15 years later, my kids are well into their teenage years, and it's time to get goin' again. I see there have been a lot of changes since the 'olden' days. 
I'll be setting up a 40G FOWLR until I get my feet "wet" again...but have purchased equipment that will hopefully get me started with a reef set-up at some point in the not too distant future..provided everything goes well!
Looking forward to learning lots from you!

Thanks for the warm welcome, birdlady! A mommy club sounds great.
I see you're not far from me. I live in the Lehigh Valley.  Good to "meet" you! | |

(That would have been my first choice, however). I'll be running an Ecosystem40/refugium, with lighting in the form of a 36" PC 96W x2 fixture for starters. See how that does. I'm in no hurry. Patience is something I've got tons of right now. (We'll see how long THAT lasts). | |

Yes, we are quasi neighbors! I think NPARS is the closest club to you I can find http://www.ncpars.org/index.php
but I don't think it is all that close to you. 
Lots of good folks here, and hardly ever any flame wars! Very civil!  | |
