New Reefer

Hello and welcome to R2R!
Goofy Movie Hello GIF
 
New to this forum and reefing. Been wanting to get into the saltwater side of the hobby for years. Like since I was 10 haha I’m 28 years old now. My girlfriend and I live in northern illinois pretty close to the wisconsin border with our 3 kids. It’s pretty hard finding anything related to reefing where we are. I think the closet 2 places besides petco I’ve found are 40+ miles from my door step. Came here to learn good information which judging by what I’ve scanned through it seems I’ll have no issues with that! Also looking to maybe make some friends if there’s anyone else here in my area and possibly see where they like to get livestock and corals from that’s somewhat local! Just bought a brand new Red Sea Reefer 250 for my first initial tank out the door solely because of the size and having the sump. I figured getting on the bigger the tank the easier to control the water plan would be awesome for me since I do farm and my time at home gets thin in the spring and fall. Figured I’d introduce myself. Thanks for having me and I can already tell this is going to be one of the coolest things I’ve done.

Welcome! Let’s see the pictures of the progress.
Here’s so far…I might have rushed just a little bit but I think I’ve been nailing it so far. Water always seems pretty stable and my condy anemone looks to be thriving! He’s huge.
