Hi Alex 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 and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It looks like you are already off to a GREAT start - loving your photo!!!

This might help you find people local to you:

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

Welcome to R2R! Thank you for your service! There are many friendly people here who are ready to help and know their stuff.

You have an awesome tank. Hopefully you’ll start a build thread. I can’t wait to see your reef progress.
