hello

My name is Bob Jones, I live in a small town called Roanoke Rapids, located in north eastern NC. I a relativly new to salt water fish. For the last year i have owned a 44 gallon corner tank FOLR. I have a Fluval canister filter, a Prism skimmer. I recently purchased a 65 gallon tank with overflow from Aquatica in Garner NC (Neal is the greatest to buy from, lots of great help) I want to transfer my existing fish and rock into my new tank and start a reef tank. I am sure I will be asking alot of questions, so you guys bare with me. I am also in need of some equipment, ie... a skimmer, sump and pumps. Hopefully one of you guys will be able to reccomend some stuff and know where someone has a some good used equipment. Trying to Reef with a budget is tuff. So to close, Glad to become a member and look forward to some good chats and information.

Bob
