This tank was originally going to be my 29g biocube. Instead of setting that up, I started with an even smaller tank that my dad found on kijiji for a very low price and decided to give that a go first. I will end up doing a tank upgrade, but I was hesitating setting up my biocube because of all the mods I hear people are doing. So I set up this small tank first, to see if I could slowly start understanding some essential elements in running a reef tank. I know there's a huge community of reef hobbyist out there and I always love to learn from other peoples advices.
