Default Peer pressure got me hooked

Hello all,.

I have just been recently hooked into getting my own tank through a local member here (Jason Austin). I was his room mate a few years ago and I was very interested in his tank. He recently got a new tank and I started doing my own research and along with his peer pressure, I made the choice to get my own.

He is pretty intelligent when it comes to his hobbies so I am counting on him to help me out when I need it.

I am currently deployed overseas right now and will be here until December. I plan on getting a 50 to 75 gallon tank when I return back to the states.

just thought I would introduce myself to the group. I will have plenty of questions later on.

Yeah Yeah, I wish time would go by faster. I am tired of being here. Africa sucks. I may have to wait for my travel voucher to come in before I can start buying for my tank.

no, no pets allowed here. I live in a tent with 16 other guys so the space is very limited. I am getting my tank when I get home.

I dont know much about what it takes to do a saltwater reef tank so I am trying to get a head start right now so I wont make as many mistakes when I am home. 3 months left in this hell hole.
