Oh cool! I’ve only been here one year. What’s your favorite aquarium shop? I’ve been to: Your Reef, aquarium depot, Aqua life in Rocklin, and Splash aquarium down south.

Hello all!
started gathering materials to start my first reef tank.
I have a friend who is giving me a Biocube 14. I know it’s a nano and will take some extra work but I’m up for the challenge. I am a chemist and am excited to use some of that knowledge into a hobby. I’m in the Sacramento valley and am excited to join the forum !

Congratulations on your journey, it’s always exciting and fun!

Aqua Life and Splash get my vote.

Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). There is no such thing as starting documentation too early!

This might help you find people local to you:

Local Reef Club Discussion
