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 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.
