I’m new here but been doing a reef tank for about a year now. I started with a fluVal 13.5 gallon, bumped up to a 55 gallon, and now I have a 180 gallon bow front tank. I do not know enough about anything but willing to learn as I go! Found this site and so far I’m impressed on the help and advice. I bought my 180 used fully ready to go which was a plus for me.

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). If the other tanks are still going, then you might want to do a thread for each to keep them organized - but that is entirely up to you! You could even copy what you wrote above and put in Forum > Member Aquariums to make new thread to document build(s)

This might help you find people local to you in North Carolina:
