Welcome to R2R! People here are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I hope you start a build thread. I look forward to seeing your build progress. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and research as much as you can. Patience is key. Nothing good happens fast in a reef tank. I hope you’ll start a build thread. I would love to see your reef progress.

Hi Shelly. I'm Lisa. Welcome! Glad you joined.

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. It helps capturing dreaming and planning by starting early.

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

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