Welcome!!!!

Welcome to R2R! Happy Reefing!

Welcome. The best part about your location is your an hour away from three of the best reef shops in the country. @WWC @TopShelfAquatics @Living Reef Orlando I live in Ocala and make the trip frequently. What good shops are there in Tampa?

Tampa is stacked with shops. Coral Corral, especially their display tanks, is just as good as the others you've mentioned. Here's how I'd rank the stores in that area:

1) Coral Corral
2) A&R Aquariums
3) The Aquariums & Fish Store
4) Marine Warehouse
5) Fish and Other Icthy Stuff

Hello all,

New here and starting a new 40 gallon Breeder. I used to have a 200g in-wall many years ago but had to let it go. (link)

Getting back in and re-learning everything. Currently reviewing the guide from Bulk Reef Supply: A simple, easy guide in 5 minute steps.

If everything goes well, with in a year, I will start an i-wall again.

Looking forward to learn from all of you!

Welcome to R2R! My wife is from Tampa! Love the state, but that Sun is killer!!! I got second degree burns from Jet Skiing out there lol.

BRS Guides are amazing. Look up 52 weeks of reefing as well if you've got the time. Older vids, but still quality.

I’m from st pete and I make the drive to coral corral. My favorite store especially if you’ve got kids. They always let me use the latter so my little one can climb up and check out all the coral frags lol. There new display tank is out of this world.
