New reefer from Arizona

[baldislife]

Hello I am a new hobbyist from Arizona. Since I was a kid I always wanted a salt water tank but was always afraid to do it. Decided to take the plunge when my college aged son asked to purchase a EVO 13.5. It's a great hobby to replace sports in our relationship. Looking forward to meeting people and learning.

Welcome! I know first hand that the absence of organized sports can leave a hole. That's great that y'all have found a healthy outlet to work together.

Welcome! It can get scary, but it's absolutely worth it!

Welcome! Glad you joined. This is a great family hobby and I'm glad you are involving your son.

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 Arizona:

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