Hey all —

Haven't participated much in forums before but I've already gotten a ton of useful information off R2R as a lurker for the past month or so and thought I'd make it official. It'll be helpful for when I inevitably upgrade; I'm starting out with this HelloReef 15-gallon AIO and already thinking about spots in my home that might be good for a bigger tank in the future if all goes well. Started cycling about three weeks ago and recently added a couple scarlet hermits and astraeas to give the place some (visible) life. Supplementing with tiny bits of algae wafer since the tank's still so clean and planning to add a small clownfish pair soon.

Would love to hear from any Chicago-area folks — I'm in the city — about who they use as their LFS.

More from me later. Thanks for building such a cool community here.

Well Hello! LOL, I'm glad you've cme from behind the shadows! I am confident that you'll continue to dig it here. This really is a great place.

Welcome to the forum!

I left Chicagoland about 7 years ago. Old Orchard Aquarium in Skokie used to be the best LFS nearby. They're now permanently closed, unfortunately... Not sure which LFS has taken the reigns as the best in the area.
