My name is Irene and I'm new to reefing. I'm from Texas and have had FOWLR tanks in the past (46g bow front and a 125g), but I never made enough time to truly enjoy the hobby with my busy life -- and busy job. I just retired so now I'm taking on the challenge of a reef tank with the encouragement of my son, brother and SIL who have had their own reef tanks for a while. I've already been lurking in R2R forums for some general start-up advice, but since I'm nearly ready to get my tank wet I figured I should come out of the shadows. I'm glad to read so many of your helpful points of view. I will begin posting my new tank build in the next day or so -- a DSA NEO 65g Pro.
