I started becomming interested in the hobby back in january when i had a lot of free time on my hands. After about 2 months of researching etc, i decided on a 75 gallon freshwater tank with 2 tiger oscars, unfortunately, the same day I bought that tank my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me (we were living together), and so I had no real choice but to abandon it (don't ask) and move back home a few months later(after i graduated college).
Since then i've always been reading forums on maintaining a reef system etc. I would love to get another large tank, but I'm living at home and that isn't a possibility so I've been trying to figure out the perfect nano tank to get. I've been wanting one for so long, but I can never seem to come to any definitive conclusion on what I'd like to keep, tank size, etc, so I just haven't bought anything yet. (though I wouldn't pass up an oppurtunity to get a nice used system for cheap).
The things that have sparked my interest the most are peacock mantis shrimp, green star polyps, various SPS, and live rock covered in purple corraline algae.
