    Hi! I'm Jami hailing from the frozen state of Montana. My husband just got me a 55 gal aquarium which I will using as my first SW one and we get to pick up the stand for it today!!.I've been wanting one for YEARS and have done more research into it than my husband thought was humanly possible. It will be a reef once I can get everything establish but it won't be too elaberate once it is set up as we might be moving within the next 8 months. Hopefully no one thinks I'm one of those people who wants one because they are pretty because my passions are biology and marine life. I wanted to be a marine biologist until I was shut down by my previous univerity for not having the proper classes there! BOO. I would like more information and any tips you guys have to offer!!! I'm very excited and hopefully ready to get this beast up and cycling within the next week or so!!! :cheesy:

    Welcome to 3reef!!!

    You will find that everyone here shares the same passion for the hobby and we all LOOOOOVE to help other people that share the same obsessions!!!

    My best advice: PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES.

    Everyone here is a pic addict - and if you expect a question answered without a pic - you might get some chiding!!!

    Dont ever feel afraid to ask any questions as chances are good that someone here has encountered the same or similar situation!!

    There are a lot of amazing sponsors that offer tremendous discounts as well.

    We often know about products before they hit the market thanks to Matt Rogers (regular 3reef contributor).

    We all love to have fun and this is a great place to do it together!!!


    WELCOME!!!!

    "Go Slow, Let it Grow!!!!"

    Thanks =D

    I wanted one since I could remember. A reef ecosystems just... makes me wish I had gills and could live there. *sigh* If only right? :)
