Hello

Wow, yeah. Score! Great starting point IMO

Update:

Thanks for all the welcomes and advice. So Oct. 9th our son Teagan arrived and made us very happy parents!



I attended the reef fest and while I didn't do a very good job of meeting people I had a great time learning from the excellent speakers and observing the vendors. Didn't get lucky in the auction but of course had fun hoping. My wife and I visited a couple of lfs's and priced tanks and stands, we realized new ones cost more than we could offer for quite awhile so I tried to put fish tanks out of my head. After that I spent my time with the family and there was lots to do with the holidays. A couple of weeks ago my wife made a couple of comments about us getting an aquarium. It doesn't take much encouragement for me to look for things on KSL to buy. I found a nice 120 gallon tank with alder stand and sump listed. It was my favorite size tank and came with my favorite knotty alder stand. We talked about it for a couple of days and after it didn't sell and the price dropped a little we agreed it could be part of my Christmas and my birthday present. So here is what I got:

120 Gallon tank with alder stand and canopy








It came with a 50 gallon sump and a return pump:



175 watt metal halid lamps with an older ballast







So here is my starting point. Lots to learn and I already have lots of questions. Maybe I should start a new tank thread?
