Hey guys just dove into my first saltwater build. I’ve spent hours reading numerous threads on this site so thanks for that. Set up a 40 gallon breeder with an eshopps sump. Had to get some tbs rock

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

That's a sweet setup so far! I like how much open space you have in the tank.
Thanks I’ve been flipping the rocks around cleaning off the die off so this isn’t the final scape. I was thinking about adding more rock but not sure just yet.

Welcome! Glad you joined.

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 St Louis:

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