I'm new here so I thought i'd say hello and give you a few pics of my current aquarium life. I have been in the freshwater hobby for 23 years and marine hobby for 18 years. Currently, I've just moved to a new home, upgrading from a 38 gallon reef to a 58 bowfront. I am also in the process of setting up a 180 reef.

Some pics of the 58:

The 180 has only been set up for 3 weeks. It is currently a mix of dry rock and live rock. The dry rock was from marcorocks.com. I used some of the same rock in the 58, so you can see the quality and how quick it matures. The sump is not fully plumbed yet... will have to wait until after my honeymoon at the end of the month. Anyhow, here are some current pics:

I'm already starting to see some life. Copepods and amphipods are everywhere. I even captured a picture of a hitchhiker starfish:

Nice setups, plenty of room in that 180. Might take a while to fill that guy up.
 
:welcome: to AC!

Please post progress on the 180, I'm looking forward to living vicariously. ;)
