Hello. I am very new to this hobby ( I do have 50 years or so experience with fresh water). I Just bought my first reef aquarium (Red Sea S1000) and am in the proces of setting it up. It is now in the first stages of cycling.
I am from the Netherlands, married and I have a grandson who can't wait to see Nemo in my tank
I hope to learn a lot here (already have) and join in some discussions.

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)
This might help you find people local to you in the Netherlands:

Welcome to Reef2Reef and the saltwater hobby.

Routine maintenance is your friend and overall husbandry is super important when it comes to keeping reef tanks. PLEASE setup a build thread for that monster of a tank
