Hi Tom and Welcome!
Sounds like you are an old pro with three years of Reef A Palooza knowledge under your belt, so starting should go well for you. This coming October is my first Reef A Palooza and their first one in Dallas (Frisco) Texas.

Hi Tom,
Thanks!
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, as Florida has LOTS of options:

Looking for some locals to share frags and info with? This is the place! Find a local club that meets in your area! If you want to add your club just contact us.

I see your build below (pasted below because above was not 'clickable' , but (so far) your badge hasn't shown up. Once you link it to your account, it shows up automatically usually less than an hour
