Hello from Colorado springs.

[Chase Thorn]

Hello, my name is Chase and I am happy to join this forum. I love the CO reefing community and think it's cool there are a couple forums and clubs. I currently have a 55g reef in the family, and am starting my own 3g jbj pico, and just tore down my 10g reef the 14th due to space in my apartment. I have been keeping SW since the start of 2012, but have been around SW for some time now. This hobby has become more of an obsession more than anything and it has been ruining my grades in school... But it is 10000% worth it and i am planning to stay with this hobby for a long time! I will have pictures soon and maybe start a new build thread for my upcoming pico... It will be an over the top build for a pico, but what the heck.

The light was just used for the picture... i did not have a light. This was my 10gallon... I was really not pleased at all with it and took it down before it was to late! My jbj will be arriving soon and i also ordered some Florida reef rock from Reefcleaners.org. My LR and LS is in a bucket along with my CUC for now. they are doing alright

x1000...I did freshwater all through my schooling, including college...because I couldn't afford saltwater. It was worth the wait...now I've lost my mind. People jump out and back into the hobby all the time...education is forever. End preaching BTW, looking good though and WELCOME to the club!
