Hello fellow reefers From Maryland

Southern Maryland here. Not born and bred here just increasing the gene pool.
I’m in southern Maryland as well, in California. Pretty small community down here, wish there was some way for us to organize. The Facebook group is pretty barren and I’d love to get a frag swap or something together for us down here.
 
I have been running freshwater aquariums for years but have always been envious of saltwater fish and corals and have gone to the beach since I was born but finally took the reefing plunge last year with two clownfish and one anemone after lots of research. I figured I could learn even more while being on here.

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)
