I think I'm finally ready to take the dive into Saltwater. I've done weeks and weeks of research online, and I think I'm ready. I've read, just as with FW, that the bigger the tank, the easier it is to maintain.
I was checking out the 12 gal nano-cube from JBJ. This looks ideal for me, but I have heard MANY bad things about it not being adequate in filtration and lighting to sucessfully keep many things. My friend is giving me a 29 gallon tank and stand also, here soon.
I want to start small and easy. A little LR and LS, some coral and an anenome or two, and a percula clown, or gobies (I've read that these both stay small, and are ideal for nanoreefs). Just to get my foot in the door, ya know.
so, I guess my question is:
Does anybody have a nano-cube? Is it ideal for beginners like myself? I don't want anything extravagant yet, like I said, I just want some experience, but I don't wanna kill anything either.
Or, should I take the 29 gallon and set it up saltwater instead of freshwater like I am planning on doing? Would this truly be easier, even though I have NO experience whatsoever?
I will be leaving home in the next year and a half or so as well to continue on in college. So, it will have to be easy to maintain for family too.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I just want some actual opinions before I make my next move
