Hello everyone. Let's set up this Waterbox 380.8

[Terroid Smith]

Hello everyone. Let me start by saying this is a great website with so much information (almost overwhelming), I can't stop finding stuff to read up on. I was wondering, is there any hobbyist in the Central Florida area (Apopka) that would be interested in coming to help me setup a Waterbox 380.8 that I picked up? I have the tank at the house, and have started placing pump, heater, MP60's, etc., but just wanted to see if there was any passionate hobbyist that were close that would like to come and give advice and make a new friend in the area. I also have a fragtank in the garage that I want to setup, so just looking for some cool people like me with similar interest that can brainstorm with me.

Welcome! If you were local I'd be happy to help. Best of luck, from what I've seen and read, Waterbox makes great systems.

I wish you were too. Just trying to find some hobbyist in the area with a passion for reef keeping like me just to brainstorm some ideas with.

That would be awesome. Hopefully I can find someone that would like to come and brainstorm with me.

Hey Terroid! Welcome to R2R! I agree with you. There's so much stuff to learn here and lots of wisdom from all over the world. I wish I was closer, I'd love to make a buddy and help you out. I'm new to the hobby, so it would only be help with muscle, but having an experienced reefing buddy is invaluable. I was fortunate to meet a few folks early on. They got me up and running so dang fast and with little to no headaches. Best of luck on your new build. Stoked for you!

Appreciate it bro. I will hope for the best that I meet some good people. I just retired from the Army, and have met lots of friends along the way in different places that we should share ideas with, but haven't met anyone in Florida yet. Hopefully that will change soon though. I will be sure to post pictures of the tank once it's up and running.

That's awesome! Congrats on the retirement. Appreciate you man! One of my cousins is in the army, medic and doc in training. Too smart for my dummy. I'll stick to trying to keep corals alive! Haaa haaa

I haven't gotten around to posting a build thread, but when you get yours up and running, tag me so I can follow along. Blessings

Welcome to the community! I also run a waterbox(150.4) and I'm in St. Pete, not necessarily in the neighborhood but somewhat close. You have a great store near you World Wide Corals I would check em out and maybe you could meet some other hobbyist that are closer!
