The BRS 5 minute videos are great, but you should watch the BRS beginner guide done by Mathew if you haven’t already. Good luck and welcome to the best place on the web for information and support in this hobby!

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll take time this weekend to watch those!

Welcome to the Boards! Looks like we live close! I reside in the booming metropolis of Shelton. Actually, this place IS growing. I remember 40 years ago when there wasn't an 'uptown'. My wife grew up here. I'm from Bellevue, when it was considered a poor(ish) suburb of Seattle! Not anymore!

Oh yeah things are exploding everywhere out here, I’m across the sound from you in Tacoma! Glad to see some local people here

Good to have you here! Zoa gardens and hammers are where I started also. I'd advise you to do your research and plan ahead. Space will eventually become an issue. Make sure you have what YOU want in the tank at the end of the day. I'd suggest you start your build thread, then we can follow along and assist. Feel free to reach out or check on my build thread.
You'll get what you need from this community. I lived in Lake Steven's and Marysville for a while, beautiful place up there.

Thanks for the advice! This is definitely going to be slow going as I have to source one piece at a time and before that I need to be confident that the piece is what I actually want/need lol. I’ll be asking plenty of questions before my tank even gets wet.

I figured with how slow accumulating parts/pieces will be for me that starting a build thread now might be a bit too soon.

I’ve already been learning all sorts of things from here, which is fantastic to have it all in one place!
