Hi from Central Florida!!

SaltyShel · Oct 20, 2021

Hey y’all My name is Shelby, I’m new to the saltwater world and I am super excited to learn a lot. I have a 16gal biocube with one fish, an urchin, some snails & hermit crabs, and no coral. I am hoping to expand to the 35gal tank I used to keep my two goldfish in (they lived with me for five years until they got sick ) once I’m ready and comfortable to make that jump!
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great day, wherever you are!

Welcome! Start a build thread. It’s fun and a good way to document how you’re doing not just for yourself but so we can have fun with you. Plus if you ever run into trouble we can all see what’s going on and give better advise. Good luck!!

A couple of the world’s best fish stores are in Central Florida.

Oooo i had no idea! I will definitely have to check them out. I love going into new stores, even just to look around. Do you know the names? I’ve been to 3 so far, all really great!

My favorite for fish is Top Shelf Aquatics. And of course, the World Wide Corals Superstore is a mind-blower. Living Reef is also very clean, and worth the visit.

World Wide Corals (2 stores), Living Reef, and Top Shelf Aquatics are all great stores.
