Welcome to R2R. Looking back, some of the best advice given to me when I was starting in the hobby was “ Go slow”. I’m from Franklin, Pa.Hey everyone, I'm Bob and my wife Holly and I were just gifted a 75 gallon setup fish and all. We've had freshwater for a few years now and were given the opportunity to make the leap to saltwater. Currently no corals but we are ready to dive in! Our tank is the home to 9 fish and a long spine urchin. Hope to get to know some folks and if you're from the mercer County area let's connect.

Welcome Bob! No experience with longspines but they are beautiful animals. They can definitely bulldoze though so something to keep in mind for your future additions. Lots of incredibly knowledgeable folks on here ready to help. My advice is if going the coral route, read read read and take it slow. Nothing good in reefing happens fast.Hey everyone, I'm Bob and my wife Holly and I were just gifted a 75 gallon setup fish and all.

When you get to the point that you may want to try a few of the easier kept corals, I may be able to help you out. I have some orange mushroom rock and neon green palu sinularia that is fairly easy to keep. Here’s a couple of pictures of my tank ( not a great camera person as a lot on this forum are).

Awesome tank! That'd be awesome and we would really appreciate that. We're really excited but we don't want to do too much at once. Have a great day.

Welcome Bob and Holly! Glad you joined. Michael and Lisa here, and we share our tank, too.
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:
