Welcome to the board. To begin with I was older than you when they landed on the moon. I am more than a little glad to see another reefer in the NW. We already have a couple of Scenic Acres denizens. I myself am in Crowfoot Village, and am hosting a reef club meeting on Tuesday next. Even though it promises to be crowded, you might be able to drop by? As to sand, there are a number of possibilities. Tony had Aragonite available at $25.00 per bag (don't know if there is any left) I have used Silica Sand with success (I like pool filter sand). Kim has another product he is fond of (I think it sandblasting sand). I will let the other guys introduce themselves now.
