Welcome! Glad you joined. This is such a great family hobby and glad you came in with him.

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:

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

That's exactly how I got into the hobby! Son wanted a fish and so I got an aquarium. Now the proud owner of a 45G fresh water and 45G salt water!
