new to the hobby!

[mrpong]

I just purchased a fully up and running RR 40 breeder with all the equipment included. I think it also has some rock and livestock. I just wanted to drop all the locals a line and say hello. I just heard about RC today and have been researching my new hobby, and am stoked. I cant wait to pick it up this weekend and get started.

Welcome!
You've found a wonderful outlet with people who are experienced in nearly every type of saltwater area.
Let us know what type tank you think you are leaning towards...a fish only, a reef, a specialty, etc, and I bet we've got someone who's been there, done that, to help you along your way.

Welcome, Don't hesitate to ask questions when you are setting it up! Just because its running doesnt mean you wont change something! lol this hobby changes daily and we all do it a little different. Once you have your tank let us all know what all came with it and if you have any questions. Great group of people local here and there is plenty of support to help you along the way. Even the "experienced" group ask each other questions as we progress in the hobby and try new ideas that help us keep even the hardest of creatures. Good luck and keep us posted!

Congrats on getting into this. You'll soon realize your 40 is about 200 too small. Get ready to open you wallet, it's an addiction.
