    I can't cook worth a DARN, but i can eat. can't wait.. see you all soon..
    Four individual systems Right now.
    30gal red sea 130d lps/softies/anemone tank, kalk ato, reef bright led strip.
    40 softies set up.
    550 total gallon marineland 300 DD main system 18 months old now and stabilized. T5 VHO lights/ BLUE led strip, Fully custom built LIFE REEF sump and FUGE, AWESOME 60" tall skimmer, and 1000+ gallon rated custom Ca reactor, 3 50 gallon attached SPS frag systems lite with a combination of HM and LED and T5 fixtures.
    A 200 gallon MARS quarintine with UV system/ medication for new arrivals.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    I don't know if anyone will eat any if I bring it. You probably don't have enough milk.

    This was by far my favorite meeting since I started. The chili cook off was a great idea, the speaker was great, the bounce house idea was great. All around great night.

    I have one Voyager HP 8 and one Voyager HP 9 (3200 and 3600). I like them as they are super quiet and switchable
