    Hello, just signed up with this forum.  I plan on stopping by the frag swap at the zoo.
    I am fairly new to the saltwater/reef aquarium I have been around them for a few years but never owned one myself.  My g/f is the knowledge be hind our new little hobby since she has had a tank or two in the past. 
    A couple months ago we bought a 90 gallon wave front complete, with fish live rock, an anemone or two and all the stuff to keep it up an running...  Its been up for a couple years and maintained by the previous owner.  We move it to my house and had no trouble all went smoother than I thought it would and all is still going well.  The whole idea is getting a basic reef started (one reason we purchased this particular tank) and move on from there based on how well this works out for us.

    Welcome. There are at least 4 of us in the Altoona area...Myself, Matt B., Fay(?), and a gentleman in Bondurant. I am sure there are silent others but those I know for sure.
