Hi all,

Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Arin - from the San Francisco area and just started my cycle yesterday! The build thread for my Reefer 350 is over here for those who want to take a look. I've decide to QT a couple clowns while I do a fishless in the DT.

Just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone here for the wealth of info and for answering the noob questions I posted along my journey here. I probably spent about 3 months researching before even buying any gear - and even after the gear arrived I took about 2 months to get it all setup.

A couple huge takeaways from all the reading I did was "be careful" and "be patient"; so I took my time &, so far, everything's going well =)

Anyways - just wanted to say "hi". If there's any SF Bay folks hit me up - I'd love to grab a drink, chat & learn.

Here's my lil dudes in QT:

WELCOME! cute clowns!
 
Welcome to R2R Arin ! Those clowns are awesome and glad to see there in QT .

thanks. Definitely read enough “I lost them all” stories to where I was convinced I have to Implement QT. In the end it reminds me of flossing; you should do it even though it sucks.

Still reading up on invert and coral QT. Inverts especially seem like a drag to QT especially in regards to needing a CUC “on demand” at times.

corals... seems like most just dip them. I dunno.

Still got more research to do there. Feels like cutting either out is potentially risky. But I’ll admit its not appealing at all lol
