Hi everybody!!!
Long time freshwater guy and just purchased my first salt set up. Went with an SCA 90 which is 36wx24dx24h. It gets delivered in March 1st. Going to start out simple with some beginner fish and soft corals to get my feet wet. Gonna be combing the older posts for info and ideas.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Patience is the magic for the salty side of aquarium hobby!

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). It is never to early, even before 3/1 when it arrives next week is fine!

This might help you find people local to you in McHenry:

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