Hello. Welcome to a great community!

Hello and Welcome to R2R! I made my cabinet which took many hours but I'm pleased with the results.

Hello!

I am from the frozen north. I have so far zero experience with saltwater aquariums, but I am planning to make on in anywhere from 6 months to a year. So i'm learning and designing. For obvious reasons, it would be better for me to finish building the toddler's room before I put an aquarium in it. She loves fish. I can't keep my aquariums clean cause she kisses the fishes (through the glass, thankfully! gotta keep little fingers out of there).

I'm very much a maker. My biggest crafting project is my house. I couldn't buy one, so I built it... with my partner and some friends.

I have a fair amount of experience with freshwater, had a tank as a kid too, but I don't really do conventional aquariums. My current 30 gallons is covered in leaves, mulm and decomposing wood bits, lively microfauna and aquaponic filtration. Its a DIY (with some design issues, really). I used to work in wastewater treatment and did some research in pisciculture effluent treatment, so building my own filters in freshwater wasn't nearly as... alien as the sea stuff. I started reading. A lot.

Other then engineering, I farm. Permaculture style. If you want a description of permaculture, well, its a design method where you plan the ecosystem for you veggies and nuts and whatever. Soil ecology, predator habitat, etc. A good description might be this: "you don't have a slug issue, you have a duck deficiency". We built our arduino controlled heating germination bench, and the greenhouse should end up on a raspberry pi, maybe with home assistant.

More then halfway through making her dresser. I cleaned the old paint, stained and did shellac, I want to pain some flowers on it before a few more coats of shellac and maybe tung oil. Heated floor isn't even in yet... and plastering not finished.

I'm starting to learn to program stuff in home assistant. This is different. I'm used to C.
