New member, Cedar Rapids

Hi everyone.  My name is Aaron Johnson and I live on the southwest side of Cedar Rapids.  I'm 35 and do IT work for AEGON.  As far as my history with aquariums, I've had a number of tanks in the past, but never a serious saltwater tank (I had one a number of years ago but did not have the proper equipment so it never looked good and I didn't know how to maintain it).   I've had at least one aquarium set up for 10 of the last 20 years.  I bought a JBJ 12 gallon Nano Cube DX from a local seller and I plan on setting that up.  I've been reading a lot and I plan on doing the initial setup this weekend.  I have 20 lbs of wet bagged argonite and I went to Bo bo's today and bought about 10 lbs of live rock that he's holding onto for me.  I must say, I was really impressed with the live rock and livestock that Bobo's has.  I'll probably wait a month or so before adding fish, but really, I want to do more with soft corals and anemonies than fish anyway.  I look forward to meeting others who have established tanks and can give me information on how to make mine successful.  I'm planning on attending the tank tour this weekend with a friend of mine who is also setting up a new saltwater tank.
The website looks great and seems to be an excellent collaboration tool.  I look forward to meeting everyone.

Sounds great.  Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.  And REEFer Madness, thanks for the book recommendation the other day in chat.  I ordered it and it should be here on Tuesday.
