Hi Lizzy. Glad you joined. I was stationed in Colorado Springs for a while another lifetime ago. Loved Cave of the Winds. The place really needs an ocean though.
We definately need more females on here.

Lizzy, I know it is near Colo Springs somewhere because I used to go there all the time.
Maybe it is in Manitau Springs, I don't know, it was in some kind of springs.

I loved Colorado but like I said, it needs an ocean. My boat makes a lot of noise on those mountains

What kind of boat do you have if you dont mind me asking? And I agree it would be perfect here if there was an ocean.

FeedBack Gladly Accepted AND Appreciated !!!!!
Although the benefits of living in northwester Arizona are many, finding quality vendors and suppliers is not.
If anyone could provide me with some suggestions on vendors/suppliers for clean up invertebrates.
I recognize that I will have to ship however, I am more concerned about the inverte livestock getting here aliver versus the small differences in shipping overnight costs.
Again....any suggestions will be appreciated.
Regards,
DesertJon

DesertJon you might want to search the clubs forum and find a local reef club for your area---they probably would be glad to help you out

suggest you start your own build thread Joey. That way when you ask questions people will be able to see them right away. Posts on long threads like this tend to get lost really easy with the amount of membership and posting on here

Hello everyone on RC! I'm very excited to be joining - it looks like this is a great source of information!
My name is Lizz - I currently live in Rochester, NY and am starting my very first SW tank - 29g.
I'll probably be posting here often because I have SO many questions!

To Reef Central I just drove partway up to Rochester, well I only went as far as Scarsdale but it is in that general direction.
Glad to have you here

I dont think I have ever introduced myself but here I am. I have been doing fresh water tanks since 2001 and saltwater since 2008. Even though it is an expensive hobby I think it is a fun hobby that is always changing.

I also wanted to say thank you for a very informative site.
