New kid on the block

Welcome to the Reef

Hello! I am just starting my journey into saltwater so extra newbie here. I have a 36 gallon tank and the I almost done cycling (maybe? It’s been about a month and he numbers are finally trending in the right direction).
The current plan is FOWLR and a cleanup crew but I’d eventually like to make the jump to reef but I’ve got a few more things to upgrade to do so.
I wanted to join this group officially because every time I’ve had a question this forum seems to come up in my searches for answers so it seemed logical to join as a community to turn to when my local store isn’t an option (but if a drive and limited hours).
I’m moving slowly into this but any tips are appreciated and welcomed.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Yes I love the knowledge available on this site, too! You are in the right place.

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:

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