Mentors?

Drneil · Nov 16, 2019

Just wonder after my first post yesterday. Would anybody like to be an online mentor?

Would be looking for someone that can help steer me away from mistakes, help when/if problems do arise.

But mainly someone who has made mistakes but utimately ended up with success with a similar setup that can help with coral placement and watch my tank progress over the years.

Tank is 3.5ft 60 gallon, interested in LPS and growing from frags(know this will be a long road), with a few SPS to fill the top.

Would be helpful to see tank pictures

Welcome!!! Think you'll find lots of people here mentoring you on your journey. I've received and read advice from countless folks. From experienced reefers on the how-to's to fellow beginners to keep me encouraged to vendors on equipment. There are so many different paths to success in this hobby and tanks can take so many different directions having the entire community here at your disposal will be a big help.

Thanks for the replys. I will use the community on this forum as suggested and I'm sure everyone will guide me to success. It's already been extremely useful.

So much info and so many rights ways to do things I thought a mentor with a personal touch would help. Didnt want to detract from all the great help from everyone on the forum.

Welcome to R2R! As far as I'm concerned, I consider many of our oustanding members as personal mentors (whether they know it or not). The only issue I could see in having a single mentor is that as you mature as a reefer, you're going to want go your own way and not emulate any one person. What works for one person may not be right for everyone. Just a thought. Awesome looking tank by the way.

Welcome to r2r!!

Personally, i would be happy to help you however you need. I live in Idaho, i started with a 29 gallon tank, moved to a 75 gallon and now have a 125 gallon display, 55 gallon sump, and 40b frag tank. I have run sumpless tanks with all hob equipment, used every type of lighting (mh, led, t5, all kinds of hybrids), tried growing (key note there is tried, I've lost a lot over the beginning years) most types of corals, I've done refugiums, algae turf scrubbers, biopellets, vinegar dosing, you name it and I'm sure I've tried it... Except for expensive things haha. Heres a full tank shot of my 125, i have a bunch of frags which are hard to see when taking a pic of a 6ft long tank and am getting a huge order of wild corals in just a few days too. I check the forums several times a day and wouldn't be against texting in the future either

Let me know if i can ever help at all! I should mention i have been keeping saltwater for about 5 years now with a reef for 4 years.
