My name is Mike and I have an anemone problem...

I've been keeping reef tanks on and off for over 10 years now, never been much of a forum user, but I always hear about Reef2Reef from a few buddies, so I figured I'd see what the buzz is about! Over my time in the hobby, I've had everything from FOWLR to SPS reefs, but I've always had a fondness for displays with lots of movement. The majority of my tanks have been mixed reefs with lots of softies and LPS. Anemones have also always been of particular interest to me, their symbiotic relationships, wide array of colors and shapes are beautiful and fascinating. My current tank is a 125, a recent upgrade from a 55 tall, so it's very much a work in progress at the moment. The eventual goal is to have if be a true anemone display tank, something I've always wanted to do. I currently have 2 Magnifica and a large Mertens but hopefully that list will be growing. I only have one small LFS (who really doesn't carry many inverts) so getting livestock has been a challenge, if anyone knows any good sources for anemones, I'd love some tips!

I'll need to get some more pictures of the tank and start a progress thread. Glad to be a member of the forum!
