Hello everyone!

[gotta_love_coral]

Chris,
All my friends and enemies used to ask me how come I didn't spell Kris like you do?

How come you are waiting until 2025? This is a big board and there are probably 5 or 6 reefers who live in Los Angeles who might be able help you with stuff to get started. I live in San Diego and I have seen a couple of free tanks that folks down here were willing to give away because they didn't need them anymore.

I remember my mom was big on putting off my first tank but eventually she gave me enough BLue CHip Stamps so I could get a MetaFrame slate bottom aquarium and bubble and floss submersible filter set up that got me going in fish. Then big tanks, then saltwater, and I hope you can get going soon enough!

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I’m waiting until 2025 because I’m not sure what I want in my tank yet! Or what types of supplies to get (I know the basics but there are so many things needed). I want to give myself time to decide and plan my tank. I don’t want to rush it and make a tank that I don’t like that much. Anyways thanks for the kind words and helpful advice!
