Hello, and welcome to the channel.

Welcome! Glad you joined.
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). Its never too early, and now is a great time to even document where you will be placing tank and your future plans.
This might help you find people local to you in Las Vegas:

When I was new, below is the info and links they gave me to help figure it out:
One fun way to learn from others and keep a record of your reef aquarium is to create your very own build thread! A build thread is just a thread that tells us about your aquarium and might include photos. You can create your build thread in one of these forums. MEMBER'S AQUARIUMS
Once you have created a build thread then you can get your VERY FIRST USER BADGE! YAY! It's easy to do and I have created a thread that tells you how to do it here: BUILD THREAD BADGE

Welcome to the club neighbor! If you need help or supplies let me know. When you are ready maybe I can give you some coral frags. I like Aquatic Treasures, it has been awhile since I have shopped there. I mainly buy online to avoid driving, I hate driving in this city because of all the drunks on the road. Good luck with your build, you can't find any better help than Reef2Reef.

Thank you for your post. Nice to know someone here from Las Vegas. When you buy frags online, do you pre-dip them? Then you have to 'glue' them to a rock. Not sure about this. . .yet.

I don't, they say you should. But I do acclimate them and during that time I will inspect the coral with magnifying glass and scrape off anything that moves. I cut the coral off the plug and either glue it to a new plug or directly to a rock.
I have not gotten any pests or disease. Just aiptasia, but I don't think dipping eliminates them. If it does then I messed up. I have a few.
