New to reefing from California!

[TerraCaelus]

I am just checking in with everyone here. My tank plans got put on hold because of kittens! I rescued two 10 day old kittens who had to be hand raised so they took up all my spare time. Within the next few weeks I am going to start my build and posting pics. I am really interested in having a zoa garden. Any suggestions? And any suggestions on stalking for a 40 gallon breeder?

Look up your local clubs, there are some good ones. (northern valley reefers, wine country reefers, bay area reefers)

 

[TerraCaelus]

*Welcome to the forum!*

Good luck with your new endeavour! In regards to stocking your tank,do so slowly.Figure out what type of substrate you want,get some live rock and just let it run with your equipment for a while . Zoas are a great beginner coral.Find some inexpensive ones to try out and graduate to the more expensive varieties.
