Hello all.
Since Im new on RC Ill start with a bit about my experiance (or lack there of).
A friend started a reef shop called Elite Aquatics here in Calgary (closed now :uhoh3
. From visiting his shop I got reef fever and needed a reef tank. Becuase I had always had fresh water tanks I thought the learning curve would be mild :rolleye1:
My friend Sold me on a AIO setup because I was away with work alot he said this would be the best start. Without thinking, reading or researching I dove in. It seemed to me that murphys law followed me so far this whole journey starting my first week of reef keeping.
Let me start with saying, If I could do it all over again I would change EVERYTHING! So much livestock lost to simple lack of knowledge, and irresponsibility. Ill post some picture of my first JBJ set up in a minute, I would like to first make clear what my intentions are with this build.
My first nano cube taught me that I hate AIO tanks. I find them... wastefull, ineficient and simply ugly most of the time. So why build another JbJ?
My dad NEVER let me quit anything, and I was never aloud to start a new project till my old one was completed and cleaned. Being a new father myself (he is 7 months old now) Ive decided that my daddy knew best. So before I move onto bigger and better, I want to finish what I started. I want a successfull mixed nano cube, stable, clean, and thriving.
To give you an idea of my lack of experiance here is some pics of my old setup.
First time
This tank was very short lived, I moved soon with some buddies where I set up again and this time a little different, but still nothing special
And then Finally I got into some soft corals, The tank looked cool for a bit, but after my roomates tank crashed and he had to move his puffer and eel into my tank without consulting me first, my tank crashed and alot of my livestock (fish and corals) where obliterated.
