Hello from Minnesota

[dnprall]

Hello!

I'm in Minnesota. I've never had an aquarium before but always wanted one. I have a Red Sea Reefer XL 200. Setup is new from 12/2/22 and I love my local fish store as they are the ones setting things up and really helping me out.

I have two Davinci Clownfish (Mona and Salvator) and a Watchman Goby with a Pistol Shrimp (Tic and Tac).

The live rock came with a few tiny starfish but also some bristle worms. My wife sent me a video this morning of a possible fireworm. That's the reason I found this forum as I'm going to try the bottle-straw bristle worm trap (just need to get some shrimp).

I look forward to learning as much as I can!

Welcome! Hope you guys are doing well up there. My family is in MN and I was born and raised there. Do not miss the cold at all. :)

Could just be a bristle worm. They get everywhere. Fireworms are the devil though. I got hit by one and will never for get that two+ weeks of pain.

Good luck. Make a build thread and we can see your progress. Ask questions, research, enjoy!

Hi David and 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 under Forum > Member Aquariums 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:
