Hey all,

Wanted to introduce myself to all here. I dipped my toe into the reefkeeping world about 12 years ago and kept a successful Nano tank (Biocube 14). Then I started having babies and donated the tank to focus on my kids.

Now the kids are starting to get big enough that I’m looking for another Nano to reconnect with the hobby. I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to keep after the tank and to enjoy it.

Still in the planning phase, focused on AIO Nano systems in the 12-20g range. It’s probably a Fluval Evo or another Biocube for me because the lid will minimize evaporation and all keep kid hands and cat paws out of the tank.

Not planning on anything ambitious stocking wise, just soft corals, inverts, and a fish or two. Goal is to enjoy the simple beauty of having all that life under glass a few feet away from me during the work day.
 
Welcome! I see you diving into the deep abyss!

Hi and welcome to da club...

have several larger tanks but spend the least amount of time servicing and almost most time watching my 15 - great fun

and check out the Water Box 15 Peninsula - it has been a gem
