Greetings from Central Illinois

[DimHelmet]

I don't currently have a reef or marine tank, but it's something I'm interested in. My brother has several and has bred seahorses and flame angels until multiple bouts with Covid in his family caused some setbacks.

I've been keeping freshwater fish for many years, and currently just have a 20-gallon tank with a 75 in the garage waiting to go as soon as I get rid of my piano to have room for it.

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) - it is never too early! Right now you can be capturing your dream wishlist as you begin planning transition from freshwater to saltwater.

This might help you find people local to you in Lincoln:

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

Welcome to R2R. Taking it slow and doing plenty of research before starting a tank is a great idea. Having a close family member in the hobby doesn’t hurt either.
