Hello fellow reefers!

I live in Massachusetts and had gotten out of the hobby for many years, but have recently wanted to get back into it. My neighbor has a Red Sea XL 300 that I’ve envied for some time and I’ve finally decided I need my own.

At any rate, I am looking forward to learning from other experienced and current reeders, and possibly finding a used system to help get me started.

Thank you,

Eliot

Hi Eliot and Welcome! Glad you joined. Suggest keeping an eye on local club sites, craigslist, etc etc and I'll cross my fingers you find what you seek. I was able to return to hobby with larger tank than planned because we found someone leaving hobby (his daughter was starting college)

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)

Welcome, Eliot! If you're not already a member, I wanted to invite you to join our local reef club, the Boston Reefers Society! We have a local forum and in person events in New England!

 

[ReturningReefer]

Welcome Elliott! I'm in Massachusetts and just getting back into it myself after 15 years. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything and as @Chrisv. said, join BostonReefers .org. Local reefers sharing a ton of great information there.

Hello and welcome to the channel.

 

[jfoahs04]

Welcome, I'm also in Massachusetts. I'll echo the sentiments about joining Boston Reefers. R2R is an excellent source of information, but having the local connections is great.
