After a recent move to San Diego from Pensacola, which required me parting with my beloved 120 gallon SPS tank of many years, I have begun setting up a new reef tank.

I want to say a quick word of appreciation to ileum (Ian) for my new Red Sea 250 set up. He sold me a very clean tank/stand with everything in great condition for a fair price (and helped me load it!).

I also want to give a nod to BoydReef, who sold me some great Marco rock to get started at a very fair price as well.

I always try to buy used from fellow reefers when I can, and plan to stock my SPS dominant tank with frags from fellow reefers as much as possible. It's great to know that SD Reefs provides a forum to make this possible, and want to acknowledge my positive experiences with the SD reefers I have met so far. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the future.

In the meantime, Happy Reefing in the New Year! - Alan
