Hey everyone!
So a few years back when I knew even less than I do now I used to have a 29G "saltwater tank" it was an eclipse freshwater hood with stock lighting and stock filtration. Needless to say it was an effing nightmare! It ended up being too much to maintain without the proper equipment and I couldn't keep anything alive. I gave away what was still alive and went back to freshwater. Now its years later and I just got a JBJ Nano Cube 12G DX and I'm looking to dive right in and hopefully get a nice little nano reef going. I like that this forum is local and hopefully once my tank gets started and cycled I'll be able to score some nice corals from users on here! Just wanted to say hi and also just FYI my tank is literally still in the box as I'm shopping around for live rock and sand, so if anyone has any or has any recommendations on a place that is not over priced then please let me know! I'm open to as many tips and suggestions as people are willing to offer! I already know that I want to upgrade the return and the nozzle on the jbj with a maxi jet 900 and a hydro-flo as well as an in tank powerhead to stimulate some of the action in the water.
Anyways i think that's it for now, I'll probably post up more once the tank is actually set-up!
p.s. also looking for a stand for the nano 12
