Hello and welcome to the channel.

Welcome. I'm relatively new to the hobby as well and very new to these forums. My wife is from Leamington.. We'd visit your neck of the woods more often if Trudeau would make it a little easier lol.

Happy reefing!

 

[Fish Think Pink]

Hey all, I've been lurking and learning a lot around here for a while now and figured I should say hello. Fairly new tank, setup sometime in May. First dive into saltwater and it seems to be going well except my tank has decided to go to brown town this week, probably due to the fact I'm still using conditioned tapwater (one thing at a time). Anyway here's a few pictures, and if anyone is in the London Ontario region - or anywhere in southwestern Ontario shout out.

Right now all that's in there is two occelaris, two or three hermits and a snail, I'm going to try a few zoa frags first for corals and a few more fish and a better clean up crew once I can find snails for less than 5-7$ each. I'm trying to acquire as much as I can used and I've been pretty successful so far, so if anyone has anything near by let me know! The goal was and still is eventually to have a few seahorses and I'll move everything else to another tank, but I can't justify 250$ + per horse at the moment. Very slim pickings in this area lately for anything and everything is super expensive in Canada it seems. A bit discouraging but it's helping me practice patience, of which I have very little usually

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:

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