Hey guys! This is my tank thread! Start with some background. I had freshwater fish tank since I was very young. My last fresh water tanks were a 45 gallon cichlid tank and a 10 gallon pea puffer tank. I had always wanted to do saltwater and never had the time of money till about 4 months ago. I did what I always do and read a lot and learned as much as possible and decided on a nano tank as space is limited. I have had some issues but no big ones. Tank is going great since start up. Here are some pics from start to now I’ll be updating from this point. Thanks for looking in everyone!
