Hey everyone been lurking for the past 6 months or so and finally decided to join, all the threads ive read helped me along with my journey. I started up my tank around June and this hobby has slowly grown on me for sure. I had to stop my addiction and stop buying corals because that is bad for a broke college kid's wallet ;Woot here are some pictures of my tank sorry theyre low quality. Also a piece of my frogspawns skeleton was hanging off so i decided to cut that part off it has resulted in this tiny baby head but doesnt have a mouth will it grow one?

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you are well on your way. Let your corals just have time to grow - that will help your wallet, too. THOUGH, its a big year for Texas aquarium events - Aquashella in August, Reef A Palooza in October - BUT depending where you are in Texas perhaps you'd want to volunteer for Aquashella - in exchange for work you get t-shirt and access (its super fun - I'm in DFW and plan to do it again this year!)

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)

This might help you find people local to you:

Welcome! Awesome to see another Texan here. I feel you on the broke college kid thing. I had a tank through college and it was much more barren than yours. Amazing tank you have there. Everything should grow out nicely and you won’t even need more corals.

Not need more corals? Is that really even a thing???

What does that mean? Never heard those words in the same sentence before. Need to look for my dictionary.

I know, right??? He‘s spouting nonsense!
(I just wish I had the restraint to not buy more, lol)
