Back in the Hobby

Been out since the mid 90's with saltwater. I've had a few freshwater tanks since then but my heart is in saltwater. Been buying equipment slowly and doing a ton of research. Seems l've found the "mecca" of knowledge here on this site. looking to become a partner member when I figure out what size of jacket I need.....lol Happy Reefing !

Welcome! Glad you found R2R and joined. Yes, lots of great info here.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It is never too early to start, esp since you're already collecting!

This might help you find people local to you in Montecello:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
