New to the hobby

[vames]

Hey everybody, just joining the hobby. Been scuba diving for years, and admiring a neighbors reef tank for years as well. Recently I got a killer deal from a (different) neighbor on a 46gal bowfront, and decided it was time to jump in the tank myself.

I'm in Chesterton, and currently just looking for feedback on various LFS, and possibly some used equipment. I plan on starting with FOWLR and hopefully progressing to reef. I think my biggest need at this point is live rock, with possibly a skimmer or lights (leaning toward T5, but don't need anything yet since it'll just be FOWLR and I have T8s on it currently.)

Anybody got anything they are looking to unload locally? What's everybody's favorite shop in the region? Thanks for the info!

I feel like a failure for not seeing this thread yesterday. Sorry about that. I know you are already on our forums, but I really should update here more often.
