Hello all. X-Treme NooB Here!

[kwikranger]

I just joined this forum group about a month ago or so and I'm just now starting to actively post. I do have to say that I am quite impressed with some of the stuff that is goin' on here and it has driven me to make a perchace of an AllGlass 30Gal this coming Monday when I get paid. I also have a 20 L that I will be selling and a 10 Gal that I will probably keep as well. After all, 2 tanks is better than one for lighting up a College Apartment Bedroom. I've been so Impressed with all of your nano reefs, I had to give it a shot.
Now I have been keeping freshwater for about 10 years and do have fish experience, but I also understand that saltwater is verry different than freshwater. But that's why I wanted a change. I Love how saltwater juss BLOWS fresh out of the Water... lol :hilarious Literally! I have been doing tons of research, but I will still need alot of help along the way to make sure I'm doing things correctly. I want to do things correctly the first time!
It's really great to see what you guys and gals are doing, and I hope that I might be able to meet some of you sometime or another. Anyone in or around Orlando FL?!
I hope to become friends with you all soon and it's good to be at such an awesome place.

Hi
WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!

the key to it all is PATIENCE!!! please dont make the same mistake i did, if u wanna do it right just wait to buy all the flashy colorful fish and coral. read up on the nitrogen cycle (it sounds like u have already) thats the main thing u need to wait on. ask lots of questions and dont do something without knowing all about it.
By the way a 30 gallon tank is too big to be a nano tank
welcome to the colorful world of fish

Thanky very much for the welcomes. Even though my 30 gal might not be a nano, I do have a 10 gallon that I might just have to setup... I might be able to do a regular and a nano. I do like the smaller tank environments a bit better though, because I really don't have the money for a huge setup, plus I live on a 3rd floor college apertment. Which SUX. Technically we are only allowed to have a 10 gallon, but they come into my friends apartment all the time and he has a 75 and they don't say anything... but then again, he does live on the 1st floor. Oh well. So long as they don't evict me. lol But anyways, it's nice to be here with a good group of people such as yourselves, and thankyou for your advice jimmy. much appreciated. Trust me. I have PLENTY of time to wait... after all I AM on a college budget ya know. LOL
He-ey Lefty. If they call you a nano. I DEMAND to be called one too. After all 1 gallon difference? I mean C'mon! lol I love nanos and i hope to have a nice 10gal to go with my 30. thu best of both worlds is always 2 tanks... he heh
