Thanks for the warm water welcome!Welcome to the Reef.
I would start a build thread so we can all fallow along. It’s a great way to keep everything together, and is basically a journal for your tank.
My biggest piece of advise is slow and steady wins the race.
I will definitely make us a Build Thread over the next few weeks probably, once we have a few more ducks in a row on the pond here.
And yes indeed! A pearl does not simply grow in one night! Same could be said for basically anything one chooses to put into their tanks!
Out approach will be slow and steady for multiple reasons. One we dont want to overwhelm ourselves on our end and secondly so as to let us learn and grow at a decent pace so we can provide a healthy ecosystem for our new Tank families.
Again than you fpr the warm welcome and advice! I look forward to many more chats with all of you!!
