contessa Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi everyone, I thought I should introduce myself. I am from NSW but close to the border so I hope it's ok for me to join the QLD forum :confused:. I have been keeping freshwater tanks for about 2 years now, starting off with a fighting fish in a 20 litre tank, I now have a 6 foot low tech planted tank and have decided that my next tank will be a nano reef. I am currently trying to decide on which tank I should get to start off with, I don't have much space so has to be under about 2 foot and I think I want to go with one of the 'all in one' type tanks as I have no marine experience. Anyway this seems like a great forum, I am looking forward to reading and posting here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betta Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Welcome contessa, I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this forum, there are a lot of very knowledgable people here & they are all willing to help as much as possible. While I think marine tanks are great & by far my favourite, I know that the smaller the volume of water, the more work they are & they can also go foul very quickly, the water parameters are very unstable & if you don't know what you're looking for or don't spot they early warning signs then the whole tank could fail & everything will perish before you know it. I'd suggest to have a fish only tank for your first marine tank, especially one that small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
