Hello hello!

I'm kind of a newbie but kind of not. I have watched and helped the husband with his reef tanks for 10+ years. I've learned a lot and have developed the same passion for saltwater and reef keeping. I finally decided to take the plunge and start my own reef. I'm very excited to join the community and share my journey.


This was the very first picture I took of my Waterbox 15 Peninsula during my build last month. I'm very happy with it so far. Beautiful tank. More to come!

Welcome! I'm Lisa. Glad you joined. Here is a Texas "Howdy" from your DFW 'neighbor'!

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 under Forum > Member Aquariums 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 in Texas:

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