hi guys

i have been thinking about setting up a salt water tank for some time. I have have beening keeping fresh for 4 years and want to make the move. But i dont realy have the room for any thing big

that is when i found the nano reef

http://www.charterhouse-aquatics.co.uk/catalog/nanocube-aquarium-with-lighting-p-879.html?osCsid=1e4a4fc5fbf37392701da3dc3f065913

this seems like a realy good tank but would it be ok for my first one?

Also wat could i put in it?

any help would be great thanks

I always try to recommend larger tanks to begin the saltwater journey. I konw as clutsy as I am that had I started with a smaller tank, I would have run into a few more problems than I have.

That said those nano-cubes are well built tanks. The only problem they tend to have is overheating in the summer. A large box fan will help a lot with that IME, but some choose to run chillers.

There's a lot of info at nano-reef.com/all-in-one tanks. That's just a forum with all the inclusive type tanks. You can do a search for nano cube and come up with a lot.

As far as what you can put in there, I'd start with about 16 lbs of live rock, some sand, and some patience. Fish choices are limited, small clowns, pseudos, gobies, dartfish, and a few others tend to do well. I'd shoot for 2 fish at most in there. A pair of clowns, or a clown and a goby of some type would work out nicely.

Good luck, read up.
