About to start up...

[wrboyle]

Hi,
I'm about to start my first nano-tank and more specifically my first saltwater tank in general. I think I've decided to go with a 24g DX Nanocube but would like to hear other peoples opinions of them and any other nano suggestions someone might have. (I like the 24g over the 12g since the more water the easier to keep, but I am concerned about the lighting for the 24g).
I've also decided, I think, on a reef tank as I would imagine that 24g would be too small to do anything aggressive. I was wondering if someone could point me out to instructions for setting up the tank; books, articles, webpages, anything would be great. Also, what all kinds of things can an 'average' 24g nanotank have?
Thanks,
Walter

the only thing bad i've heard about NanoCubes(NC) is that they have cracked on people
other than that the response has been great
good choice going with the larger of the 2 for your first tank
anything agg. in a 24 would be diff to keep.
you should be able to keep about 4 small-med size fish
if you have any doubt on the size a fish gets ... just ask

the main reasons the nanos crack is that they have been modded from a particular website. i really like my 12 and i will be purchsing a 24 gallon soon. good luck with the tank
