Hello everyone
I am not a Vegas resident, but I am looking forward to meeting people that enjoy this hobby. I live in St. George, Ut. My wife knew someone giving away a 200 gallon take 2 1/2 - 3 yrs ago, I wanted to start salt water at that point but she wanted to up grade our 30 gal fresh water. This tank was just too large for us at that time, boy I wish I had it now, so we traded it in on a 100 gal w/ stand and canopy. After 2 years of constant nagging and a trip to Grand Cayman I finally convinced her to let me convert our tank!
My tank has been set up now for 10 weeks. 3 chromis started my collection of fish, one poor little guy just died, 2 false percs and a lmb, a naso tang I just couldn't pass up, and new today a yellow watchman goby. 90 lbs of Fiji live rock and 1oo lbs of argonite provide the start of my reef.
Other critters that live with me are my wife Jen. Who I have been married to now for 4 1/2 years. Her baby Kramer, a 8 year old black lab mix. Our second child Ozzy, a four year old shepard mix that still thinks he is a puppy. Then we have our wild and wacky kits 4 ferrets 1 year and younger Lilu, Lugnuts, Mims, and Kletus. Since I wouldn't allow any of the "fun fish" Jen has set up FO tank for her puffers, we always have had puffers even during our fresh water stint. And her non reef safe wrasses.
Now for human children we currently have 1 17 year old foster child who is our 6th long time placement in 2.5 yrs. We do not have any of our own kids, yet.
I am 27 years old and work for a local excavation company where I am a project manager and estimator. I enjoy just about everything to do with the outdoors, cars, sports, and traveling(mostly for the food

). My new found hobby of reefing and its search for as much info on reefing as I can get stuffed into my head seems to be taking most of my free time and money.
thanks for including my in your group I hope to meet all of you soon.
