Welcome to R2R. If you have patience, you basically have the biggest asset needed to be in this hobby. You LL her that again and again, all the beautiful tanks you see on YouTube took a lot of patience, trial and error and consistency. Welcome to this wonderful hobby!

Hello everyone from Orlando. I'm totally green behind the ears on reefing. After 20 years in the military I'm finally able to start a hobbie I've been wanting to do for a very long time. So, being excited about this is an understatment. I know so little, I'm still not close to knowing what I don't know . This is my current plan-

Currently building a house and have designed the house so the aquarium will be built inside a wall and share the view with two rooms. Planning on a 150g (72"x18"x23"). House won't be done until summer 2025 so thinking of getting the aquarium now and setting up in our current place with a temnporary stand that will replicate the space etc in the wall where it will go and try and have a successful 1 year tank that I then transfer to the new location when house is complete.

Outside the above I've been watching video after video on BRS and want to avoid as many mistakes as possible . After over 20 years wanting to start this I consider myself pretty patient and hopefully can follow a lot of the guidance I've taken notes on thus far. Looking forward to sharing and learning here!!

Hey I'm a little late to the party, but I wish you all the best! I'm just getting started in reefing myself, with a much smaller build, but it is so awesome to be able to bring that world into your home. I can't offer a ton of advice bc, like I said, I'm new to this as well. But looking at everyone that replied to your thread, you've got this!! Those same names that welcomed me a couple months ago, still reply to my posts and answer my questions, just like they said they would!! I'll probably be adding a first coral this week. I'll be following along. Best of luck to you. I hope you have a blast!
