Greetings from Chicago!

mjszos · Sep 7, 2021

Hey all! Just wanted to post a quick introduction here. My name is Martin from Chicago, IL. I've been in the hobby for just under a year now, with the exception of a few freshwater tanks when I was in my early teens. I'll be 27 in November and like many others quarantine got me back into fish keeping. I'm currently on a nano tank as we are renting with the expectation of buying soon, and I didn't want to risk a large tank in a move. Currently running a Fluval Evo 13.5 mixed reef tank with mostly easy to keep coral.

I'll be starting a build thread in the Nano tanks section later on today, feel free to check that out when it goes live! Happy to be here, eager to learn more, and live vicariously through all of your big beautiful tanks until I can upgrade mine!

Cheers!

We may be neighbors soon! Plainfield/Sugar Grove are a couple areas we're shopping in if we're going to head that far out from the city!

Cheers!

Hi Martin and Welcome!

Congrats on already starting your build thread! Seems like you've got a good plan, good luck on house hunting and looking forward to hearing about your new tank when you are settled - off to check out your current tank! See you in other thread
