Again hello all fellow reefers. My name is Larry I have been in the saltwater community for about 9 months and learning everyday. I am hooked hard to the hobby. I currently have a 125 gallon reef tank. It used to look amazing til I didnt properly prepare for my move and lost half my coral and livestock. So I am once again rebuilding my tank back up. I am from Illinois orginally but currently stationed at Fort Lee, Virginia. I am in the army and have been for 11 years. My current job in the military is an instructor which I love. I am very proud of my uniform and my service to the country. I have 4 kids. 3 girls and 1 boy. They love my tank and were the final reason I invested in the hobby. I have always loved the beauty of the saltwater tank. I was always scared to do saltwater because of all the stories of how expensive the hobby is. I have maintained many freshwater tanks & currently own a 55 gallon cichlid tank as well as my reef. I am learning everyday about reef and have had many trials and tribulations with it but I love it and im hooked. I will stop rambling and end this lol. Oh I found out about this forum from the local forum I am a member of which is Richmond Reefers. Have a great day. I added a picture of what my tank looked like prior to the move.
