Already too much frenchies here?

Euphrate · Nov 17, 2022

Hey,
I'm Adi from France, Paris if i have to be precise, but oringally from the Atlantic coast, where my father and grandfather took me for fishing, i guess the passion came frome here, more fascinated in seeing fishes than in actually eating them.

Well, i don't have much experience, i was years before on a ~40gal before it crashed, the unique thing that survived were the aipasias and the xenia.
Now i finally have some time to settle down.

I'm dreaming of a little version of the Jake Adams

pleading-face

mangrove tank or of the Julian Sprungs one.
I'm not planing on adding fishes before several months (maybe a lil pair of black clowns?), and i'm about to purchase a red sea max nano i saw for cheap but without lighting system.

So right now struggling with an old LED (maxspect mazarra) and how to build it an hanger, and wondering why did i buy it lol.

Anyway, best regards to everyone

Adi

Hi Adi and Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you near Paris France:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...

Ah Lyon is so v beautiful indeed! Architecture there is way more interesting than in Paris (to my opinion).
Also i promise to not be *too* parisian. Thanks for the welcoming

Welcome to Reef2Reef! There are a lot of DIY forums here where people have built various lighting mounts, you might peruse through there and find something that will work. Some might need some modifications for your particular setup but there are a lot of great ideas there! Can I suggest starting a build thread as well? It's a great way to document your journey and people will often offer helpful advice when you're going through things.
