More on my background:
I have had freshwater aquariums for a long time (as well as koi in ponds), my uncle got me into the hobby when I was about 8 years old (I'm 25 now). I had been wanting to do Saltwater, but I never had the time to do it. Everyone says it's not that much time required, but I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (or I was...now It's easy street and it's time to move up). So I've been reading and reading in the past, but really only started to READ and fully comprehend some of what's going on inside these wonderous tanks for the past month (previous reading was lost to the zombie I became when I was working too much). So I am still in the research phase, learning the names of the fish, what is aggressive, what is not, what gets along together, what does not...and also of course not to trust everything to the
LFS, after all they're just out to make a buck. And then I found TR! <3
During my initial searches I fell upon the Nano-cube 24, I was about 3 minutes from purchasing it but I thought...I have to monitor chemicals (I'm a chemical engineer at my job) and things can go wrong in SECONDS if not done correctly or checked often enough. Lets see what I can find out first and sure enough I learned rule #1, the only thing that happens in a salt water tank quickly is disaster. I also learned that the bigger the tank the longer it takes for bad chemicals to throw the entire thing to the fishes (so to speak).
While tossing back a few brewskis at a friend of mine's house I stumbled upon his beautiful 92 gallon corner tank and was instantly taken. I LOVE it. The look, ect ect...everything, so I started searching for one. Checked a few prices and purchased mine (as you read above) since it was a steal, I couldn't pass it up.
For the tank itself:
I haven't yet decided what I want to do. I like the idea of having corals, but I know that as a
you should try things that are a little more hardy. I want to do a
FOWLR anyway, so I'll probably do that with this (making sure the fish are reef-safe so I could potentially go coral in the future).
My nephew is begging me to put a "Nemo" in my freshwater tank so I'll be getting one of those (ocellaris?). He also wants a Dorie, of which I believe that's a hippo tang (Paracanthurus hepatus). I don't know if my tank will be big enough because I know she likes a LOT of swimming room (gallon-wise it is, but I'm worried about the shape...I'll post pics when I pick up the tank ^_^).
Anyway, that's enough for now...gonna grab a bite to eat, then I'm gonna head to bed (work @ 4am SUCKS!!!).
