The biggest tank we have in the house right now is a 30L Innovative Marine, and we've had multiple "conversations" about how to keep it up/upgrade it. Hence why I got my own nano, because I was tired of him taking over the maintenance while I was at workReally ?
it’s not that bad ......, I’m sure the husband won’t mind
Bigger yea. . Everything is bigger , the fish and corals grow bigger .The biggest tank we have in the house right now is a 30L Innovative Marine, and we've had multiple "conversations" about how to keep it up/upgrade it.

I'm looking into the Waterbox aquariums, because we have an empty foyer in the front of our house that needs some decoration!
Big tanks just intimidate me, I guess - bigger tank, bigger/more expensive if things go wrong. LOL

the cost of equipment and maintenance is bigger .
but the best of all ,
The reward is the same no matter what size .
I just sat here and read them all. I’ve been wondering just never asked.I cant wait to come back and read these. Ty!
For me it was boredom.
Lol
Outta high school. 1st job. Something to spend on. Lol
I originally wanted a fish tank and just googled how to start one. Was lucky enough to come across a video of a guy arm mixing sw in a bucket and talking to the camera about marine saltwater fish tanks. This was 08' or so.
Its been a love addiction ever since. I dont need to go scuba diving. I have the reef in my house.

Do NOT be afraid of the larger tank. I would honestly go bigger if I could afford it. Mine is a 90g , it makes parameters more stable to deal with imo. Larger volume more dispersion....the margin of error is greater to work with....please consider it.The biggest tank we have in the house right now is a 30L Innovative Marine, and we've had multiple "conversations" about how to keep it up/upgrade it.

That was my first handbook! I think I still have it somewhere! Wow....20+ years ago, still valid....I’ve been in the hobby 18 years, however I would have been in the hobby twice as long if I was smarter.
Twice I remember seeing books in a pet store next to every dog breed and other animal book. I bought them and had thoughts like, what’s a skimmer? It’s not like they had one in the store or had an employee who was knowledgeable. There was no Internet at that time and it wasn’t in the encyclopedia.
Then I remember seeing a blue damsel for the first time under PC lighting. It blew away freshwater neons.
Eventually I made my way to Bermuda and went snorkling on the boat from the film “The Deep.” I was hooked.
When I got home I got certified for scuba in the local lake and made a few trips to Barbados where all I wanted to do was dive as much as possible.
Then just before my daughter was born I was in a bookstore with my wife and saw “Saltwater for Dummies.” I read it cover-to-cover and followed the antiquated advice, under gravel (crushed coral) filter, and all in a Walmart 29 gallon aquarium kit. The only thing that was useful was the tank.
I gave myself a $500 budget, blew through it in two months, and learned the basics.
Not long after I found a forum called Reef Lounge and learned about refugiums and crappy skimmers that people swore by.
Six months in I joined a reef club, saw a 90 gallon LPS tank and bought a 90 gallon tank of my own. I filled it with anything I could get my hands on. I got frags from club members and raffles. I joined group buys. I got store credit for Xenia and took fish and coral without doing any research.
I’ve had some set backs over the years and some successes. Right now my tank is growing in nicely with some great sticks.

Did what ?OH GOD I DID IT!
230 gal ?OH GOD I DID IT!
Always loved the ocean and animals in general, but really love lionfish, yet I don't think I'll ever have a volitan.Curious as to what got you all started in the hobby? What set you off and made you think, "I gotta have a saltwater aquarium."? I bet we have so many unique answers to this.
For me, I was scuba diving in Thailand. We had a port call for 6 days and while the other sailors were busy getting drunk, I was busy diving. I remember finding a massive lionfish. I thought it was going to attack me. It was so chill though. He was like, "sup bro?" only he spoke Thai and not English. Then this massive sea turtle circled around us. I got to hand onto its shell for a bit. When I came back to the surface I immediately wanted to go back in. That got me to thinking about how I could have a piece of this mysterious world in my home. One of the first things I did when I came back stateside was begin looking into the hobby. The rest is history.
And you?
