New to FMAS

Hey reefers!
New to saltwater and found this forum not too long ago. I have a few years of freshwater experience but nothing crazy. I hope to make the next meeting. We have had a freshwater in our office for a few years and grew tired of it since the fish werent too interesting. I offered to research and do a saltwater build, a few months later, the tank is up and running. Here are some pics with my work camera(my sisters has one of the DSLR or w/e it is).

Its a 55g w/ a 10g sump/fuge. Most of it is dry rock with live rock(from lilfishbigreef). hope to meet all of you soon
Joseph

Im picking up an 8 bulb nova extreme from a guy this friday. I cycled the tank with standard flourescents and still am using them at the moment. its been running for a month now, hoping to add a few corals in a few months after I learn more about the water chemistry and what not.
I plan on keeping some polyps at first, and see where it goes from there. Its at our office, so its only supervised 10 hours a day, but I do come at night to check and make sure nothing is leaking.

thanks for the welcomes!
