Welcome! One-year-in "aka glorified newbie" here also. Awesome setup! This is one of the best resources out there in my opinion. Definitely invest in some orange filters for your phone - I need to do that as I struggle with pics too. I run my daytime lights pretty white, so pics end up washed out - and then I struggle with those overly blue pics at night when I really want to capture the glow of the corals.
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!! Nice looking tank!!

Welcome! Glad you joined. I sometimes just put orange lens 'reef' sunglasses over my phone's lens, but there are lots of options for camera filters. It seems like you are well on your way!!!

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 in West Palm:

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

Thanks for the info
 
Welcome Jason, glad you are here! Looks like you have a pretty good grasp on things, everything looks happy and healthy.
I am trying, my wife gets mad at me because I spend so much time on the tank!!
 
Hello and welcome! We’re glad you joined! People here are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Hopefully you’ll start a build thread so we can see your reef as it progresses.

I’m looking for them now…I’d like to get some good colorful pics that aren’t all blued out or dull white
