Rich - New from the Lou

[Buckster]

Hello Rich and Welcome to R2R! a 120 gallon reef will look great and remember to take your time and don't rush. The tank needs to advance from one stage to the next on its own time. I placed some corals in too early and they died. That made me learn to slow down.

Welcome to the reef. Lots of great people here to help you along your journey in the hobby.

Good evening, all. My name is Rich and I am from St. Louis. I am just getting started on this obsession I never knew I needed. My goal is to build my way up to a 120 gallon reef over the next couple of years. I have been enjoying the great vibe on this site and am looking forward to being part of the community. I would love any info on groups and events in the St. Louis area as well as any recommendations on local suppliers. Glad to be here!

Sounds like a good plan!

Hey Rich,

St. Louis area hobbyist here and stores in the area from what I've seen have gotten a bit lean with corals etc. I recently just loaded up at a frag show in South County a couple of weeks ago and frankly unsure when the next one is, but my suggestion is get the tank up and running as it needs quite a few months before introducing most corals. I've bought quite a few corals through Market > Livestock Selling on here and have been quite happy btw.

Great to know. I appreciate the vote of confidence in buying livestock here. So much to learn!

Welcome.

The St. Louis Saltwater club doesn't appear to have survived Covid but many still around. We are also starting up again after being out of the hobby for 5 years. We're starting up a Waterbox 290.6.
