Welcome!

Normally the rule of "the bigger the better" applies, but the current generation of nano tanks have pretty much everything you need to get going.

I like the idea of a nano reef for monetary and space reasons. I guess my only concern is a sump tank and skimmer etc. I'd prefer to not have the tank go haywire if I'm out of town for a week. Thoughts?

Welcome! Beautiful freshwater tank.

Thanks Andrew! I really like your tank. Would you recommend a nano reef tank to a beginner? I'm interested in it.

do u know what the scientific name is of the pleco

L-168. Last night I was reading and turned off the lights at 3. I decided to get out and check to see if he was lurking around...nocturnally. I didn't see anything with the moon lights on so I turned on one of the lights and he swam right back to his spot. I guess he does move.

South American puffers...like this: http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/Puffers/AmazonPuffer.php

I have 4 cories, 4 South American puffers, 1 male apistogramma borelli (waiting on Aquatek to get the female), M/F honet gourami, 3 cherry barbs (2M 1 F), a butterfly pleco and a whiptail. I might add some african algae eaters to help clean the sides, because that stupid pleco was $40 and only eats the wood. He doesn't move unless I change the water.

You could always convert this to saltwater and do fish only with live rock.

True. But I like the color. And I have a nice fung shui going. Unless there was some AMAZING fish I could add to the freshwater one. I have peaceful Amazon fish. I just bought the Idiot's Guide to Saltwater, so we'll see.

So would you recommend acrylic over glass?

No skimmer(doing water changes and smart feedings until I save up and find the right one for me)

Congrats on the new baby (although I know I'm a little late, just got on).

What's smart feeding?

Hey Guys,

I got my first legit aquarium 6 weeks ago and I love it. It's freshwater because I didn't have the money for a brand new SW setup. I ended up going with a 29 gallon biocube. I think kits are a great idea for beginners.

I know research is key, so if anybody has advice or whatever, I'm always interested. I will be at the frag swap just checking things out. Probably looking at getting a SW tank around the fall.

I also have an in-home Mac training business (www.ihelpaustin.com) and I'll give 10% off to Reef Club members

Thanks,

Jeff

Looks good. Can't wait to see it completed.

I'm new, but I'll be there. I'll probably be the guy nobody recognizes.
