Hey all! New here, looking forward to getting LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of advice on this forum as I dive-bomb kamikaze-style into the world of reefing!
As an intro, I am fortunate enough to live in sunny San Diego CA with my S/O (who at the time of this writing, still believes that I am a sane individual and has NO IDEA the trials and tribulations he will be subject to in the coming year as I finally embark on my dream-build!) ;Hilarious
As far as experience goes, the farthest I got previously was a 90G FOWLR that morphed into a Kenya Tree-Dominant tank where I was able to keep almost everything alive (had a Hippo Tang swim up the rainbow stream to heaven after battling HLLE and newbie ineptitude for 6 months
) for 4 years until moving out West 5 years ago. I've always known that I wanted to take things up to the next level, just never had the funds/space to do so.
I've always had tanks growing up (though the FOWLR was my first saltwater tank), my favorite being a 55gallon Malawi Cichlid tank I had all throughout high-school and part of college. They liked me enough to reproduce and I was lucky enough to have several generations by the end before I had to tear it down and sell everything, so I take the health and welfare of my little finned friends very seriously.

Please contribute and give me some advice. Seriously. PLEASE SEND HELP.
Thanks and looking forward to chatting more with y'all soon!
