Hi guys! Nice meeting you all here. I’m a newbie when it comes to salt water so I am ready to brace for the ups and downs in this hobby. I’ve been doing fresh for well over a decade but I think it’s time to try out something new.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

I started out in freshwater too! There is more challenge in saltwater but the amount to learn and all the cool inhabitants you can find make it worth it!

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)

This might help you find people local to you near Seattle:
