Well, I've been "encouraged" to introduce myself. Marlin here from Seguin Tx. Been doing aquariums since 11 years old, that is saying a lot considering I'm a little older now. That means fishkeeping for about 50 yrs. Mostly fresh with a little dabbling in salt on occasions. Recently wife bought a new aquarium wanting me to keep a reefer. Only a 50g Fluval AIO, so a little time consuming, but coming along nicely. Experimenting with negative coral landscaping, interesting from more traditional constructs.

Anyway, just beginning this reef phase of my experience. Tank has been running now for about 3 mos with fish and cleaning crew. Haven't placed the first coral yet as I want the tank nice and seasoned before I do. That's about it. Looking forward to keeping up with the forum for insight.

Hi Marlin and Welcome! Glad you joined. Here is a big HOWDY from your Grand Prairie TX "neighbor"

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 to early to start!

This might help you find people local to you:

Marlin welcome to saltwater reefing.
 
Hi and welcome to R2R! Here you’ll find people to be friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We’re glad you joined! If you haven’t started your build thread yet please do. I’d love to see your build as it progresses. I can only wish I had 50 years of fish keeping! Well done!
