Hello from Dawsonville!

[Avicenna87]

Hello All,

I just learned about the community when I was searching in Reddit`s reeftank sub.
I have started with reefing about a year ago. Actually, I purchased the tank and filled it with sand, rock, and water and then waited about 2 months until I put the first fish in. Then I waited another 6 months until I had the courage to put in my first coral, a GSP. I think I was overthinking a lot. Then I guess I got over-excited and introduced many corals at once. Anyway, I have been able to keep the softies in the photo alive for the last couple of months, and looking at the tank gives joy to me.

I don`t have anyone at work who shares the same interest in reef tanks as me, so I was looking for people around the Atlanta area, and I found you guys. I am happy to join the group, and looking forward to meeting with you people.

Here is the photo of my tank!

If you are that cautious then you have this reefing thing half beat. I met “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville” (Bill Elliot) once. That’s about all i know about dawsonville but There’s probably more reefers in dawsonville than in buckhead.

There's a good bit on FB for freshwater but not really many for Saltwater. Attached below is a screen shot of the top 5 groups I use to sell/buy. Was just curious if there were more and if we could all just add each other and see what we might for sell/trade.... just a thought.
