Hello from Raleigh NC USA!

[Tony Jibster]

Hi,
I just joined R2R, and I am looking forward to learning lots. I am new to saltwater. I started my first (and only) reef tank in January 2016 so as of this post, I have about 7 whopping months of experience...ha ha. I am the first to admit I know nothing, and I expect to spend most of my time reading rather than talking.

I like DIY projects and my system reflects that. My nano reef is basically an experiment I started to see if I could survive in the saltwater hobby. I decided to go small: 15 gallon display w/10 gallon sump. I got a bit carried away with drilling, plumbing, etc. just because I wanted to see what I could do. I am having a blast, and I even started sharing my journey on YouTube where I refer to myself as Tony Jibster the Reef Noob.

I am looking forward to getting to know many of you.

Welcome to R2R--I live just up the street from you in Wake Forest. That is one heck of a first set-up--very nice! I'm sure you know of The Reef Farm--they'll be having a cookout and frag swap/sale on July 16. You might be able to find some good deals on small frags there.
