My 12 gal Nano-cube

[StickyTuba]

Hey Everyone,
I finally got out the digital camera and took some pics of my tank and its current inhabitants.
I just got the two corals last night and they seem to be doing quite well.
I have had the hermits for about 2 weeks and there are snails in there but I didn't get any good shots of those.

Thanks for looking!

about how much did it cost you to set it up?

I think that right now I am at about $250.00 not including the tank.
(My wife bought me the tank for Christmas and I am not exactly sure what she paid).
So roughly about $450 - $500
Including:
LR (Of course the LR I picked was the most expensive at the LFS.)
LS
Salt Water
Hermits X 3
Snails X 5
Corals X 2
Testing kit
Calcium Buffers
Materials for Stand

I would recommend going with a bigger tank, if you can afford it, because it is SOOOO addictive. I am ready to upgrade and I have only been going for about 3.5 weeks.

Definetly hang out at AA. Also get the "New Marine Aquarium" by Michael S. Paletta. The book is excellent and gives you a great background about LR, LS and startup costs.
Ask Questions, too.

GOOD LUCK

I am estimating a little high on the costs to give you an accurate idea of what startup may cost with a 12 gal nano cube
