Just started this hobby during the shut down, so nearly 2 years. I wanted a tank next to my desk since I now work from home. Also new to the whole "Forum" world. Be nice to have a place to get some solid guidance.
Noob in Longwood checking in.

Welcome to the group! R2R is a great resource from many experienced reefers. Kind of glad I do NOT have an aquarium near me at work … would be (pleasant) distraction … and would certainly affect my (perceived) productivity!

Welcome! I work from home too which is a blessing and a curse when it comes to the tank lol! I'm down the road in Winter Garden. If you have any questions, ask away. The forum is a great resource. My advice is to wait for some answers before moving forward. The first answer may not always be the best.

Next door to ya in Casselberry. About to get back into reefs on a smaller scale, waiting on my WB 25 to get delivered. It will also be a desk tank. Been working from home for 15 years and tanks are a must have. Just wait as you will get the itch for more the longer you work from home and have time to kill. Since working from home I have gone from a single 50g back in the day to currently having the WB130.4 as a freshwater, a WB 25 coming for the desktop reef, and a 2000g koi pond.

No where near you but by the look of your tank you’ve been doing everything right.

If you were looking at the 130.4 reef pics, that was closed down some time ago, it is now a FW tank.

Nice! Not sure I could handle an outdoor Koi pond, have to sleep out there to protect them. I also have WB 15 nano, love it. Working on a table so it can be near my desk as well.

I’m sure being in long wood you’ve been to top shelf aquatics-and living reef Orlando ???

FW is easy compared to SW. My pond is set up with self cleaning filters where once every couple weeks I have to spray a part down. Beyond that it is feed fish and change water as needed. Water gardens with plants and rocks are a hot mess, just have to build smart.

Living Reef shouldn't be skipped either.

Ask to take the tour of their farm if they have time . Tomas from wwc works at top shelf now . Most the people at top shelf and living reef Orlando are nice to work with and in my opinion way more knowledgeable .

LRO and TSA should be your main stops here in Orlando, your wallet will thank you. WWC I will go to for fish, MAP pricing items, and that's about it. I will make the drive over to the main store if I buy auction items on Ebay.
