Hello Reef2Reef,

First off, thanks of all the info and insight you share as a community - the forums have been a great reference point for this new reefer!

I recently started my first saltwater aquarium after keeping several planted aquariums over the years. I was inspired by a recent 10 day trip to St. Thomas USVI, all the amazing snorkeling convinced me that I should really have a little slice of ocean in my home office.

Thanks to this forum I found a used JBJ 20 Gallon AIO for a good deal - shoutout to @bro1123 for helping me get set-up.

My home base is West Michigan and I've also got to give a plug to my LFS - Watercolors Aquarium Gallery. They've helped me get a solid start in the hobby, and their podcast is a solid listen that covers a range of topics that will interest beginners and experienced reefers alike!

I've started a build thread and would love to see you over there. I've got a few corals and inverts and am looking forward to stocking fish soon. I'm taking my time and being patient as I grow my way into this niche of the hobby.

See you around,
FreshCoastReef

Welcome to Reef2Reef! I'm a Michigan reefer as well! You will have to check out the Lansing frag swap that happens in January this coming year. It's a lot of fun and there are great prices on coral.

Good luck and just ask if you need anything!
 
Thanks for the tip

I'm really impressed by what I've seen of your builds - very inspiring for a newbie!
