Hey there! I'm an (honestly terrible)reefer from the West Coast! been keeping this one 80 gal mixed reef for about 2 years now... the fish are doing alright. Rn the stock includes a blue tang that's been here for about a year now and a damsel that's been with me since the beginning, and a bunch of hermit crabs that came in with the live rock/sand and survived cycling. I'm just here for some tips on growing macroalgae and lighting selection.

(yes I don't know what I'm doing lol)

Welcome! Glad you joined. I applaud your desire to get better - everyone here started where you started, so hang in there. 'Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can' - Arthur Ashe, tennis player

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 under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

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

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