Greetings from Greenpoint!

Hey Y’all,

My name is Chris - recently moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Getting back into the hobby after being crammed into a tiny studio apartment. Looking to join a reef club in the greenpoint/NYC area. While I don’t have my tank setup YET! I want to get to know the local community and get ideas on how to sustain a reef in NYC. Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome!

Glad you haven't purchased a tank "yet". ;)

The first thing I recommend is to decide which fish you want to keep and then build you system around those fish.

Welcome to our little piece of the reef.
Looking forward to your tank build

Hi Dom,

Haha yes - since space is a premium for me I’m focused on the coral more so this time around. Previous tank I went for all Black/white fish so looking for pops of color/helpful fish for upwards of 60 gallon. Fingers crossed I can convince the GF.

Welcome! I used to live on Ft Hamilton! Maybe touch base with NYAquatic? They have sales on here from time to time. There may be a user group here for NYC, im not sure. I know there is one from westchester.

Welcome to R2R, since you in New York, I agree with post above, look up New York Aquatics, for possible fish stock.
