Greetings from Maryland

Good morning! Nightshift worker here. Been using R2R now for a year or so but has always been through google result. Finally decided to setup an account since I figure there's a larger knowledge base here than reddit. Been keeping a FOWLR tank now for the past 3-5 years but am knuckling down for corals. Hope I learn a lot!

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)

This might help you find people local to you in Maryland - there is very active hobby clubs in MD, VA, & DC:

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

Welcome, welcome! Frederick County represent! Whereabouts are you from? Welcome to R2R, looking forward to seeing your future build thread!
I’m from Catonsville/Arbutus originally but moved out to Howard about 5 years ago. I’m excited to learn and see what others have to teach!
 
I’m in the 20646 Zip Code. My Corals have overgrown my tank. If you are close, I can give you some frags.
I’m up in Howard but I drive to VA for work so I’d be willing to make the trip!

Welcome! Join WAMAS if you haven't- best "purchase" I made in reefing. Sooo many locals willing to sell coral, fish, gear, for pennies, and sometimes even given it away for free. Come to FragFest next month too, you'll come away with plenty of free frags! It's a great org
