Hi Ryan. Welcome to the hobby/addiction.
You can always get a bigger tank so you can have one huge one.
You may also want to check out BAR which is base in the bay area.

OMG! Cool another reefer club! Stockton is a black hole and figured that I would have to attend a MARS meeting to get my fix.
I had various FW as a kid. awhile back I got back into FW and currently have a 29g planted mostly South American tank and a 5g planted with a Crowntail Betta and a couple African Dwarf Frogs.
I am currently a member of SAS and enjoy that club very much (drive sucks)
I took some of the money that Uncle Bush gave me and started a 20T salt tank. About 25lb sand/crushed coral and 23lb of live rock (thats finally getting some coraline algae). Equipment is 2 koralia nanos, a 65W PC (really want to upgrade to a 150W MH) and a rio skimmer. Oh, I also drilled a bunch of holes into a old breeder box for a sort of in tank mini-fuge.
My tank is drilled for a sump but not ready for that yet. After all, Murphy has my number and a grudge. I also scratched it so think it would be better served as a sump ('common, we all start small then always 'gotta get a bigger tank to house all this stuff').
I would really prefer a HOB 'fuge sort of like the CPR Aquafuge. Been thinking of getting that bak pak clone w/ fuge from aquatraders or ask if John at Twins can get one.
Oh yea the important stuff, livestock:
Sixline Wrasse
Purple Firefish
3 blue leg hermits
7? asteria (sp?) snails
3 snails (forget name but the sand sifters)
corals:
Kenya Tree
pom pom xenia (still a bit ****ed from the frag and move)
purplish zoa
and another that I forget the name but looks like a clove polyps.
the last 2 I got from Kalypso so gotta ask Elliot to verify next time I go.

Whacked - welcome to NVR. A handful of us used to be MARS members but the drive to Orangevale was just getting to be too much, that's about the time NVR was born.
The club is sort of in summer hibernation right now but there are some events coming up soon If you registered on our website you'll get email notices (the next one to be sent soon).

Name's Brian, live in Modesto with a 75g reef-in-the-making. Currently have around 50-60lbs of base rock, 20lbs of live rock, running since May 1, 2008. Have a small CUC of around 7-8 blue mermits, 2 em. crabs, one blackish/brown hitchiker mithrax crab I see every once and a while, 5 trochus snails, a few nassarius snails and 3 margarita snails (mistake to buy, I know they are colder water snails but learned AFTER the fact).
