I've been in this hobby for a little over a year and live in a area with a wealth on knowledge. We have half a dozen reef shops within driving distance witch I am thankful for. I started with one Pico tank and within 3 months had a BioCube up and running and about 6 months after that added a IM Nuvo 16 witch I still have. Everyone suggests to start big and I'm the kind of guy that likes to go against the grain so I started small. I can Honestly say I think it was IMO the best place to start since it I more of a challenge and you have to be on top of things daily. weekly water changes,parameter checks,daily maintenance just to name a few things are a must to keep a successful NANO tank and now that I have started my 60gal cube I feel I am prepared to make the jump. Well here are some pics and a list of inhabitance.
