Welcome to Reef2Reef!
This forum is a great place to start as there are hundreds of members who share their knowledge and experience. In the 2-1/2 years I've been in the hobby I've learned tons of information here. My main sources are build threads.

Hello out there, I am new to the hobby and I am trying to learn as much as possible.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Love the education and information at this site!

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)

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

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

Welcome to reefing. Take it slow and be cautious with guidance given. It comes from all angles on forums. A bit of advice I take from some amazing guys over at Reefbeef, take a look at someone’s tank and if you want your tank to look like theirs, listen to them.
