| Star Polyps   | My little girls first tank I won a 12gal JBJ Nano with stand at a raffle ... i really didn't need or want another tank ... but my little girl wanted it ... and i won it .... joy?  well just got it setup for her (she's 8yo) and letting it cycle ... i put an oceanic skimmer rated for 14 to 24 gal in it ... a small heater ... and a bunch of rubble from my other two tanks sumps ... she is so stoked by it just buncing around it non-stop ... here is a pic of it

| Angel Girl's Daddy  | Re: My little girls first tank Sweet Edd! Just don't expect to much or push your child and all will be well. Remember, 8 years old!  Mine did not do well with a nano reef and went freshwater. Good luck!
