Howdy Folks!

I'm a soon to be grad-student from southern Wisconsin looking to stop lurking and finally start my first reef (eventually... grad-school and floor space don't mix).

However, I did take advantage of the BRS Black Friday sale to pick up an IM 30L seeing as I had the funds, and while I don't have the space to start up a tank, I do have the ability to accumulate equipment for later.

I'll probably ask a bunch of questions over the coming months as I begin to finalize a plan for the tank out of the list of species I'm interested in.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh... I should probably mention that while I do have some experience maintaining my Dad's planted freshwater setups. He didn't do anything high-tech, and from what I've read reefing is a bit different from Neon Tetras, Cory's, and Anubias Nana. Don't be afraid to be harsh if I end up doing something horrifically wrong, ultimately I just want to keep everything healthy and happy at a minimum.

How many Doryfish can I fit in a 30L?
 
Check out wisconsin reef society for local reefer get togethers and local aqua cultured corals. Most of the get togethers are around Milwaukee.

I love r2r for the activity but the local forums are really good for get togethers, etc. I highly recommend Best Fish in Milwaukee if you are looking for a great local fish store too!
 
Welcome home, you will love it here!

Keep us posted with your build with many photos! :)

Welcome fellow southern Wisconsinite.
I loved my Corycat’s but I went to Saltwater three years ago and haven’t looked backed
Take it slow and learn learn and ask a zillion questions and you’ll be fine

Welcome... you will love this forum. Greatest people on the planet! However I’m from southern Illinois, hope I’m still allowed, but my wife is from northern Wisconsin (Antigo) so maybe that counts for something.
 
Welcome to R2R!

I'm on the SE WI bandwagon too - Menomonee Falls (Milwaukee Suburb).

+1 on checking out WRS - our February meeting is in ~4 weeks, you should stop by and meet some other locals.
+1 on BestFish - very helpful and knowledgeable owners/staff and I've always been delighted with their livestock.
