Hey guys, I am just looking for some advice. I have always kept Reptiles and I am very good at it, But I have always really wanted a Marine tank. They just amaze me and I can watch for hours but they have put me off in the past mainly because they seem very hard to keep and maintain. Is there any tanks you can buy that come basically with ALL equipment built in, so in theory everything is already set up, and made allot easer for you, I would like this size of small nano tank to start me off.

@TimeSplittersChimp The nano is a good start, it comes with good built in filtration and great lights.

Where did you purchase your nano cube? online? I'm thinking of starting this as my new hobby for the summer, especially after seeing your tank. What website or books do you recommend for a beginner like me. Thanks!

[paolo333333]

@warrtrick I purchased at Big Als online. For some info on how to start and maintain a marine aquarium, go to iTunes and download the podcasts Talkingreef and Reeftutor...good luck!

Nice assortment. What's your dosing schedule?

[ChampNike]

Wow! What a nice tank! How is your star fish doing? I have a 14G Biocube and want to add one!

How are those in terms of ambient noise and heat? By noise I mean the sound of the machinery.

@TimeSplittersChimp im in the same situation. I have 4 baby turtles in there healthiest condition, and a baby tortoise also healthy, but now i will be obtaining a 75 gallon reef tank. Some advice i can give is not to purchase a small tank do to the mistake, so dont go lower than a 30 gallon and go slow

Beautiful tank!!!

Are you using a protein skimmer

[BrianNeathery]

This is only after a month? I talked with a guy at the local fish store today and he said it would be a long time before you can even put corals in let alone let it grow out like that. How did you get it so pretty is such a short amount of time?

hey I was just wondering, how do you feed your corals? If somebody know, please reply me in this post.
