I just wanted to say thanks to everyone I met. I was impressed by how friendly everyone was. I enjoyed talking to everyone at the May meeting. All the local stores I went to were also very friendly and seem to be run by verry honest people who care about the hobby. I should be back in N. Florida in soon. I look forward to maybe trading with a few people. I want to especialy thank Paul for the Zoo frags. They are all open and look great. Most of my pepermint shrimp made it and are happy in my big 150 with plenty of rock for the to hide in. I also found someone parting out his reef and bought alot of his coral to fill my tank. It is good that I am single. If not I am sure I would be divorsed after all the spending.

Here is a recent pic of my tank. My friend took good care of it while I was gone.

I also found a great deal on a 100gal Tenecor custom tank that I could not pass up. I pick it up tonight. It comes with all the coral in the pics.

In Houston alot of people move in and out and end up selling there setups cheap. On my 150gal I have spent under $1400 total and have extra stuff to sell.

Just for refrence here is a pic of my tank when it cycled with dead rock.

Great Tank, Thanks for showing it to us. I always like to see a new system. Looks like a nice setup. Do you ever see Eric Borneman at any of your meetings? I know he lives out there. Also, are you going to the conference in September? Eric is setting up a dive after the conference you might want to check out.

Ron I hope you had a good time during your visit here and hope that you stay in contact. Your tank looks marvelous and if I'm right it's a 150 tall tank by Perfecto. If it is, I'm interested in the way you have it setup as far as equipment. I've got a 150 tall and I like to see how others have done their setups. Goldstripe here in the club has the same tank as I do but his setup has totally blown mine away.
If you get some extra time post some more pictures of your system because as Pat said we all love to see others setups.
Again you've got a great looking tank.
George
