Hello everyone!

This is Ergun who is a newbie reefer :) After observing reefers all my life from a distance and dreaming to have my own tank for the longest time, finally, I pulled the trigger and got myself one just last month as the new year resolution to start this very exciting but at the same time scary journey (despite all the discouragement of people around me about how hard it is/could be).

I have already learned so much from many of you -- thanks to your posts in the forums -- before joining Reef2Reef during the initial set-up process of my tank (still in the middle, collecting equipment now). I realized that every question I would have may have already been answered in some of the forums, so this is very comforting.

I will probably have tons of questions (very detailed oriented and over-analyzer, in nature) for which I may seek your advice and guidance and would be more than happy to contribute back and share as much as I can to help others over time.

Cheers!

Hi Ergun and Welcome! Glad you joined. There are good local to you clubs; I'm from MD/NVa and used to work in DC

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)

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