Hi
I'm a 20yo from the South East of England just beginning to dabble in saltwater. I have a 5.5g invert/softie tank I set up with a tank I got for free. Still in an ugly phase because I haven't managed to do much with it due to moving 200 miles away to pursue a biology degree (and it's kinda hard to get your hands wet from that distance lol). Currently in the process of setting up an ATO and tidying up the system up where it got a bit neglected whilst I was away.
Glad to be here where I can talk about corals and marine snails hopefully without getting looked at like I've grown an extra head, lol
Welcome! Glad you joined. Yes I love being here where I am surrounded by others because sometimes the people closest to us, right around us, family and friends, they just don't get our aquarium obsession. Here at R2R - we get you. Here, you fit right in. Now you are R2R family!
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)
This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
