Hello everyone - great site you have here!

I live a couple hours north of Boise and have been keeping salt water tanks off and on for almost 20 years.  I took a few years off recently and am now back into the hobby.  I make it over to Utah several times a year for a couple reasons... one - my other hobby Jeeps Big smile  and for hockey.  I have two boys that play travel hockey.  

I spent the latter part of the summer putting together my 100 gallon tank.  Ive drug this tank around for 15 years.  I built a nice hood and stand for it too.  If interested you can see my build here: http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44441

And here are a few shots of my 100.  I just purchased a 180 as well and will be starting that build soon too.

^ Thanks for the welcome.  I am hoping to make it to the Reef fest this weekend - will be in Park City for the weekend (another hockey tourney)... I have never been to an event like this.  I have heard that I have a chance to come home with some nice frags - being sold for $5-$10 each?  Would be great to find some good deals on some frags if that is true.

Beautiful tank. Ever make it down to Idaho Falls? I know we have a travel team, my brother in law plays. If you ever make it down let me know and we can trade or something.

^Yes.  Im sure we will be there at least once this year.  Actually I believe we play the Idaho Falls team this weekend in Park City.  Will have to make sure I let you know - would love to make some trades.  I have drooled over some of your Zoas advertised on IMAS.  I am McCall Reef there.

Welcome! Hope we see you at the reef tour and if not have some fun while you are in PC.
What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing!

Thanks for the welcome!  I will be at the Reef Fest for a few hours.. Hoping to buy some frags.  I have never been to one of these events but understand there are decent $5-$10 frags for sale?

I won't be able to spend the entire day at the event as my son has games but I should be able to spend several hours there.  Really looking forward to it!
