Just dropping a thread to say hello to the reef2reef community. Have had a number of freshwater tanks over the years, but stepping into the saltwater realm. I plan on posting a build thread to seek feedback. I'm based near the Los Angeles area so if you have any rec's for a good LFS I'd love to hear about them.
