Welcome! Glad you joined. Lisa and Mike here sharing a tank - sometimes that is great, and sometimes its funny that we both get so passionate about it that our tank's direction can be the only thing we argue about... he had me turn off new UV for weeks/months and I couldn't believe how upset that made me... eventually someone super knowledgeable, highly regarded in hobby, and a doctor, happened to come over and told him to turn it back on (so its on - yipee for us, now if only I had those credentials to get my way faster on other things (giggle))

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:
