New Reefer From Central Florida

welcome r2r.jpg
 
Hello all, I am Joshua from the Space Coast in Florida. Mr.OK, is short for my twitch handle where I try to DJ when I have the free time. For many, many years I have always wanted to get a reef/fish tank, and 2 months ago I finally broke down and bought a Aquatop Recife Eco 24 gallon tank from the local fish store. Hope to learn from you all as i have never had a fish tank before in my life.

Thanks for having me.

Hi, Josh!

Awesome to hear you are getting into the hobby. The more the merrier! R2R is a cool place to hangout and see what other reefers are up to, and many people here are both helpful and knowledgeable. I am from Central FL, about 30 min from space coast. There is a good number of people on here from the area!

I wanted to comment on this post to encourage you to join some of the local groups on FB (if you use it). There are several reefer groups on there filled with locals, and it can be a great place (alongside R2R marketplace) to snag some deals on corals and equipment or trading with others!

I’ll have to check out your stream some time. I miss mixing and going to festivals. Getting married/family duty really put a damper on all that and I miss it! I still have my old DDJ-SX that I dust off and goof around on from time to time :D

Welcome! Glad you joined. You have come to the right place. Lots of good info here

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:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
