Hey just wanna say that I love this forum. Have done freshwater for about 15 years now and "just jumped" into the mystery of reef aquariums. Have had my 40br set up a few months and have already scrambled like a chicken with my head cut off through many new issues since cycling, diatoms, live rock hitchhikers and aptasia issues. And this forum has been a primary source for my new education in reef keeping. Absolutely loving this hobby and have finally registered and reading daily as I'm learning patience and leaving things in the tank alone.
Anyway, thanks for having me and thanks for the education

So Ive taken very few photos so far, and after aquiring a drilled 40br just last week, I'm due to take more now as the setup itself is likely to change over the next month or so. My neighbor is a metal worker who uses code for programming. He's currently in the process of helping me design a new stand capable of supporting 1400lbs. The dimensions will ultimately be designed for a 90 gallon tank, but in the meantime, it will also hold the new drilled 40br display, and the current nondrilled display tank. Sorry for lack of new pics, but getting ducks in a row for a one day/weekend, complete change. Stand will be of 2"x 2" x 1/4" angle iron construction, and center of my display tank will be at 5'4". I will take more pics tonight, maybe if I'm lucky the significant other will jump in with the Nikon.
Oh and btw this weekend was awesome. Saturday hit 6 fish/coral stores from Lakeland to Tampa, and Sunday went to World wide Corals(WOW!). Kids and fiancee and I all had a blast and each of them picked up a new frag for the tank.
