Hello! I am very interested in entering the salt water aquarium hobby. I am presently learning about how to begin this journey.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Once of my coworkers lives in Racine WI!

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). It is never too early and it would give you a place to watch your plans evolve. Patience is the magic in this hobby, so I can already tell you will do well.

This might help you find people local to you in Racine (she isn't in to fish (yet...lol):

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

Welcome to the R2R community! There’s lots of information and people who are passionate about giving it to those who want to absorb it.

Welcome from Evansville. People will tell you to go as big as possible to start cause things stay more stable. I belive somewhere around 40 gallon would be a good place to start. Easy to do good size water changes if needed and won't break the bank to start. You can always upgrade.
