Hello I am new.
I have been in the local scene for about 3 years. I currently have 17 aquariums, ranging is size from small 2.5 gallon fry tanks, to 60 and 80 gallon show tanks. I have several planted tanks and mostly keep NeoTropical Fish. I have some pretty rare South American Cichlids and plecos, as well as some rare plants. I also have 2 dart frog tanks (frog-less at the moment).
I am currently the Mod of all Mods on the best local Freshwater forum, AquaticUtah.com
I have lived in Utah for about 6 years. I have also lived in Cali and Florida. I have a massive insect collection also. Before you go off thinking I am some kind of scientific weirdo, I also enjoy guitar (METAL!), Digital Art, Computers, and tattoos.
I recently acquired a 60 gallon, 3 footer. My wife told me it was time to try something new. I have never been much of a fan of salt water fish, but the inverts are absolutely incredible! So We will be setting up or first Salt water tank in the next few months, complete with awesome inverts, corals, and whatever fish she picks out.
I hope to find some good resources here.

Sounds pretty interesting to me.
I collect toys, have tons of star wars stuff, play guitar, and have had like one of every pet at some time in my life. Sounds like we will get along ok haha.

Welcome! We're glad to have you, and we're here to help! Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Welcome to the hobby! If this going to be a fish only tank, or a reef aquarium?

Thanks Jackie, Glad to be here. This is the tank that I plan on mimicking to some degree:  It will have soft corals (or whatever I can grow) and a few salt water plants. The focus will be inverts, and a few random fish that my wife picks out.

Welcome - I saw your site in a search last night. We are setting up a Dart Frog viv. Almost ready so I will definitely check that out. Looking forward to the frogs (a lot).
Salt is fun and addicting, can't have just one tank!!!

Thanks :)
Does anyone know what kind of plants and corals are in the photo? Where do I get these for a reasonable price? (Not looking to buy now, just looking for references)

It looks like some feather caulerpa as for the others I don't know look up macro algaes and you will see a lot of them.
I saw some flame macro algae on a reef forum the other day it was awesome!!

Oh the feather would be the taller stuff. If you want to see some in person go to Jays Jungle he has his main display full with it.
