Welcome to the family! Glad to hear that you're willing to try again. Research is your friend. There are lots of folks here more than willing to help you get started. Go slow and ask lots of questions. I'm sure you will find the success you're looking for.

Hi Luis and Welcome! Glad you joined and are giving it another try. You must have lots of BBA - Bounce Back Ability which is great for this hobby and good life skill!

Is that Midlothian like East Coast, or like Texas? Either way here is a big TX "HOWDY" from Grand Prairie ... and if you are local (relatively to me - near School of Fish, DeSoto) then Saturday is going to be a BLOWOUT

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 might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
