New to Site from Seguin Texas

[Fehorse]

Well, I've been "encouraged" to introduce myself. Marlin here from Seguin Tx. Been doing aquariums since 11 years old, that is saying a lot considering I'm a little older now. That means fishkeeping for about 50 yrs. Mostly fresh with a little dabbling in salt on occasions. Recently wife bought a new aquarium wanting me to keep a reefer. Only a 50g Fluval AIO, so a little time consuming, but coming along nicely. Experimenting with negative coral landscaping, interesting from more traditional constructs.

Anyway, just beginning this reef phase of my experience. Tank has been running now for about 3 mos with fish and cleaning crew. Haven't placed the first coral yet as I want the tank nice and seasoned before I do. That's about it. Looking forward to keeping up with the forum for insight.

Hi Marlin and Welcome! Glad you joined. Here is a big HOWDY from your Grand Prairie TX "neighbor"

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 and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). Its never to early to start!

This might help you find people local to you:

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

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no where near simple. This task is going to take patience, a ton of...

Welcome to R2R. I also like to let a tank mature for an extended period of time before adding corals.
