New NYC nano reefer

[BryanM]

Hi everyone! I’m new to the reef tank community and currently getting ready to set up my first tank! I grew up with freshwater tanks but decided to make the switch to a reef tank because I find it so much more interesting! I’ve been deep diving on YouTube and here for the last few months so I can have some knowledge or at least know where to find the info I need! I’ll make a new build thread when I start assembling!

Welcome to R2R!

Welcome! What size are you thinking?

I have a 20g AIO peninsula (36”x12”x12”). I live in a studio apt in Brooklyn so this is the size I was comfortable with.

Welcome! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Since you'll just be over the Hudson from it, you should think about attending the Reef-A-Palooze reef show in Seacaucus, NJ, in June! The R2R team and tons of other coral, fish, and equipment vendors will be set up there! It could be a great way to get your hands on some goodies for your tank as you get to avoid shipping fees/issues and get to see what your purchasing in person. :)

I already have my ticket!! Any other local stores that are reliable?

Awesome, make sure to swing by the R2R booth for some free goodies!

And I'm not sure. We travel to that show, but I'm from GA and not too familiar with local stores up that way. :thinking-face:
