New 12 Gallon Nano Cube Deluxe...getting started...

cburns32 · 02-09-2006, 09:06 PM

Hello, I just recently registered to this website, and I am already loving it. My name is Chris, I've had freshwater tanks nearly all my life...And now I want to take in a new hobby, marine and reef tanks. I love marine fish and reefs, I've been to the Great Barrier Reef and ever since that visit, I wanted a reef tank, just never got around to research it. I just recently ordered a 12 Gallon Nano Cube Deluxe. I've heard alot about these tanks in how they are beautiful when completed and cared for correctly. I also know that they are difficult to maintain because of size. I am willing to spend $$$ on this tank, and can't wait to get started, but am limited of space (hence I bought this compact tank). I need tips on how to get started, if the stock equipment meets the needs of a reef aquarium, what other equipment may I need, what sand, live rock, and coral to choose. As well as interts and possibly a few to none fish. Any ideas, suggestions or help would be great.

P.S. The item is on backorder so I won't recieve until 02/24/06, but should I buy anything else to prepare for its arrival. (I have no equipment or anything of the sort to start off with since I sold it all two years ago). What to prepare for?

Thanks a bunch, can't wait to get to know you all
