First Reef Tank

Corgi2Reef · Sep 28, 2022

Hi guys! My name is Erin and I'm from Athens, Georgia. I am just getting started with my reef tank and joining the forum, so I wanted to say hello! I am starting a 90 gallon rectangle, has an internal overflow to a very basic sump below. I am currently in the middle of cycling with aquavitro's Seed. I am very excited to get into the hobby, I have a bachelor's in biology and currently work in healthcare, so I really came into the hobby for the science behind caring for these animals along with the bonus of having a relaxing scene to read by. I am excited for all of the help I'll be getting from yall!

Hi Erin! I'm Lisa. 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 Athens:
