Jessica Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hello everyone, well as the title says, I am new here and will being moving to Austin this fall! I"m just a student and will be attending UT, majoring in marine biology. =) Well, since I know absolutely no one here and have never made a big move and pretty much do not know absolutely anything about the city, I am wondering if you have any advice for me? Also, just to throw it out there, I am looking for a Bio Cube to start off with. I currently have a 40 gal FOWLR set up at home, but i cannot take it with me. I'll be staying in a small apartment and will need something small to take care of. So if any of y'all fellow reefers will be selling one in the future, let me know. As I will be busy with school, I am looking for something already set up and ready to go. Thanks guys! I am looking forward to any advice you can give me!

johnoburns Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Welcome to ARC Jessica. I am going to be moving some things from a 24 gallon nano-cube to another tank later this month. I'm probably going to sell the nano-cube, although I haven't decided for sure yet (I may keep it as a frag tank). Aside from equipment, the nano-cube will be empty.

JamesL Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Welcome! I don't think you will have a problem finding a smallish tank to fit your needs once you get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
