New to the forum and hobby

[Desertnewb]

Just wanted to say hello and thank you to the creators of this site it's very well done. Even tho I live 1hr east of SD I buy all my fish stuff there both live and salt. I have been into mostly freshwater for the past 5 years or so, but am now jumping to the salty side with a new tank. (Quite a push for the wife to ok it. I'm up to four) but its a 29g I have 40 lbs of Fuji cycling the tank currently with marineland 60mW LEDs. I purchased an ac 70 hob that I plan on having a DIY fuge, and that's about where I'm at haha which is not far at all but I'm patient. I think the setup and build is the best part. I joined because once it's fully cycled I plan on stocking with Mainly Lps and would like to find the best specimens for the best price. I can't wait to start and hopefully this forum can steer me in the right direction and help me create a gorgeous 29g reef.

I know this might not be the correct forum, but ill ask anyways. I've come to the realization that my lighting maybe insufficient for coral, I will be in the area on Tuesday. Could anyone recommend a place with knowledgable people who will set me up with the correct lighting? Also it anyone has any suggestions as to the lighting it would greatly be appreciated.

Hello and welcome!

For your lights, you should take a look at the Equipment for sale thread. There is ALWAYS some deal there. Be patient and catch a good deal for the lights you want.
