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  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.    ------------- 100 gal reef. 180 gal build starting |

^ 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. ------------- 100 gal reef. 180 gal build starting |

| 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.

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! ------------- 100 gal reef. 180 gal build starting |
