Hi I'm Maria, I'm a recent college grad starting my first saltwater tank in San Jose, CA. I have a 90 gallon display tank and a 20 gallon quarantine tank that are nearly done cycling. Would love to hear others tips and tricks for quarantining and acclimating fish as I am getting ready to introduce my first pair of clowns to the QT first
I’m in San Jose too! Nice to meet you! Do you ever go to Neptune Aquatics? I swear I’m there once a week :)

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)

Last month our local hobby club had amazing guest speaker R2R Jay Hemdal talk on QT and so much more:

This might help you find people local to you:

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

Thanks for all the resources! I am currently quarantining my first pair of clowns. Build thread is up and running, super excited to keep documenting my progress. Thanks for all the advice and support. Loving this community already!

Yes I am often at Neptune buying gear or accessories only. I have been buying my livestock from Violet Sea Aquarium in Santa Clara. I saw a blue hippo tang at Neptune covered in ich and decided that was reason enough not to buy livestock from them. Great place otherwise, they have knowledgeable staff and beautiful tanks at that store.
