Nice to see a local rocking a new build! You should check out Area Reef Keepers of Southwest Connecticut (ARKSC). Lots of friendly, experienced reefers with very impressive tanks to bounce ideas off of, talk shop and swap frags. Working on setting up another get together in August or September.

I plan on doing LPS which I have successfully kept in the past. I likely will experiment with SPS, which would be new for me.

Nice. I ran planted tanks for years before moving exclusively to reefs. Still miss them.

Took delivery of second phase of TB Saltwater live rock plus the clean up crew. Very difficult to aquascape - clearly - without taking rock out of the water - I was hoping for something more artistic, but this will have to do for now. Also got a live stream going so I can monitor 24x7 remotely, which is most of my time.
