Jeremy, I live right up the road from Pauls old house. What kind of help are you looking for? Do you have a tank, and equipment, or are you looking for info on everything?
oh, and WELCOME!!!!!!
Mary

Well jeremy, I guess we should start off asking you what size tank you are looking to set up. What are you thinking? What kind of fish do you want? Do you want corals?

no my last name is pilaczynski everyone i know just calls me the pollock. the siz of the tank i was thinking is 75 to 125g. paul sayed i should have it driled and have everything under the tank. my sone love the really coloerful fish witch i know is a lot of them i have no idea on what coral i dont know anything about coral or what fish go together. i would like something some what simple to start with. i really dont know what anythig cost i know its not cheap. i just want to do it right. i plan on doing a lot of reading before i buy anything. so if anyone has any sites or books titles i should read that would be nice.

Good to see you found the forum buddy. I just talked with thepolluck on the phone tonight and sent him here to learn from the best. He is looking for a good starter set up, something he can really build from without having to upgrade every couple of months as he gets more and more into the hobby. I told him about a 125 gallon being a great size to jump into the hobby with. So if anyone can help him out with a line on a used tank and a good skimmer and possibly drill his tank for him (since I'm not around to do the drilling) that would be awesome. He's a good guy that really wants to do things right the first time.
