Hi and welcome to R2R! We’re glad you joined! People here are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Hopefully you’ll start a build thread so we can see your reef as it progresses.

Hello y'all,
I'm new to the hobby and looking to learn as much as possible so that I'm one day able to setup my dream peninsula reef tank. Currently own a deskmate 4.8 that's been running since December of '22. Looking forward to chit chatting with y'all.
Welcome! Glad you joined. That is a great tank!
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 under Forum > Member Aquariums 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 in Orange County:

I added an ATO on mine to keep salinity stable (and counter the evaporation).
Patience is the magic in this hobby.
One thing I've learned, there is always a way! Good luck to you.
