Let me introduce myself

Rate this Entry
With my first comment on the April Fools thead I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Jeff Wester, retired Air Force. I have a little experience in keeping reef tanks, I started out with a 55 gal FOWLR tank when I was stationed at Kadena AB in Okinawa, had it for about a year and a half. After I retired from the AF I moved back to California and started 2 Nano reef tanks which I enjoyed until I was transfered to Texas in Jan of 2006. I had been going through reef with-drawals until I found RC in 2007, I was content looking at your beautiful tanks and reading and planing for a tank for myself in the future, it was unfortunate that during that time I wasn't able to meet any of you since I couldn't post on any threads, (destined to a life of lurking ).

Well I started another 14 gal Nano tank in Jan, after a month I added a couple items and have slowly been increasing my inhabitants.

I ordered a 100 gal tank (60"X18.5"X19") from Dallas North in Feb, hope it arrives sometime in Apr so I can start building the stand. I've started collecting things I will be using with the tank, I will post a list and pictures soon, I know pictures are needed. The items from my Nano will go into the 100 gal and I'm thinking of an Anemone and a couple of clowns for my future reefer Jeremy, he's 5.


As always thoughts, ideas and comments are always solicited, please feel free. My hope is to create my piece of the reef for others to enjoy right along with me and my family.


Marc I'm hoping to have my final dimensions for the sump as soon as I get my stand layed out. My hopes is to pick it up from you in June along with delivering that bottle of Crown.

Thank you all for the stories and Beautiful pictures, my hope is to contribute many of my own in the coming months.

    Nice to meet you Jeff. Lurking has its value, but interacting is much better. Let me know what you need and I'll get it built, and I'm looking forward to your future updates.

    Thanks Marc, I'm wanting to do a build thread once I take delivery of the 100 gal tank.
