Hello,

I wanted to drop by, register, and say hello. I’ve been fascinated by, and have wanted my own reef tank for over a decade. I finally pulled the trigger on a 20 gal nano three months ago. I’ve been lurking here for quite some time, and wanted to thank everyone for contributing to such a useful and informative site. I’m happy to report that I’ve yet to have any massive failures, and my few corals and fish are doing great. All thanks primarily to this site and the brs videos.

Maybe once my tank gets a little more worthy, I’ll start a build thread. For now, here’s a few pics of my happy inhabitants. (Still trying to figure out how to get good pictures with leds as you can see - my apologies). ;)

Welcome to R2R!!! Yes @revhtree did an amazing thing in starting this site. Become in my humble opinion THE site for reefing information. SUPER jealous of that Elegance bud, very nice and vibrant. Great job!

Welcome nice to see some from Massachusetts
Thanks - I have noticed that. Maybe a false perception. But it doesn't seem to be a popular hobby around here? I've known one person in my 46 years of living that had a saltwater fish only tank (no rock), and nobody with a reef.

Guess I'll have to make friends here instead ;)

Welcome to R2R!!

that tank looks worthy to me!!
HA! no... It's still firmly in noob land. The only excitement here is I jumped right into LPS because it's a small tank and I knew what I wanted. Bit risky, but so far so good. Everything else is noob city ;)

We all start somewhere. And you’re further along than I am! I’m a year into the hobby and all I have is fish. Still haven’t gotten any coral yet lol

Nice to meet you.

You will meet more and more of us in your area as you get to talk to other members. You just never see us since we are always inside our houses hiding and working on the tanks. :D
