My Tank Thread
Hello all.
Relatively new member here. I did make this account a few years ago and lurked a bit. Initially I had a 29 gallon tank that I was going to start a reef tank with. Then decided I wanted a bigger so I was gifted a 46 gallon bowfront. Started making a stand for it, then saw a 110 Planet Aquarium tank on FB marketplace for super cheap and couldnt pass up on. Luckily, it fit my DIY stand perfectly.
So now, 3 tanks later, without water in any of them, I think I am finally ready to start my journey.
Welcome! Glad you joined. They say 'Third time is the charm!' Dallas Fort Worth has a very active hobby club scene in DFW, so there are Frag Swaps, LFS Bus Tours, Potluck Parties, Monthly Gathering Hours & Raffles, and Monthly Mtgs with guest speakers from myriad of companies. If you need anything, just give a shout.
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)
This might help you find people local to you in DFW:

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