Hi.
This is just the type of discussion I would like to get into. My very first question that I posted in this forum was "what is a nano tank", I got an answer but I really made me feel quite stupid as I never associated the Nano the way its ment to. Anyway, the reason I really didnt make the connection is because these small tanks are not promoted much in Australia and most LFS dont encorouge using them.At least here in Adelaide where i live anyway. Is the popularity of these tanks gaining in America because of the large amount of high density housing?
I think more people should be aware of the general rule of the smaller the tank the more likely the chance of problems and the harder these problems are to fix. Just think of how many hundreds of thousands of creatures are taken from the ocean only to die in some cube because someone wants to indulge a little. The use of these small tanks should be discouraged at least until we are able to meet the demand for these fish ourselves and stop taking them from the wild. Tony.
