Excellent! Let us know if you have any questions. The most important thing is to go SLOW! Do not rush this new adventure

 

[dmyers557]

Make sure you go slow and do not use tap water!!!!! RO or saltwater from the lfs only

Congratulations! Welcome to your new addiction.

Congrats, and welcome to the hobby!

It is exciting and very addictive, but when everything is running smoothly, its all worth it. I have found myself watching my tank more than my tv, and I am sure many people here are the same way.
What size cube is that? Have you decided what type of stock list you want?
Remember to ask many questions, because everyone here is very knowledgeable and we will do our best to point you in the right direction. Good luck to you on your tank build, please keep us posted on your progress!

Two Questions...

What size tank is that? And I know this sounds stupid, but is the tank actually blue or is that just a light turned on? I do love that tank though.

Especially the stand! I've never seen anything like it!! Do you know what kind of fish you want to start out with? I started out with a yellow belly damsel and a blue devil damsel just to let you know. Only thing wrong with that, is that the blue devil damsel is the most agressive and I didn't know that at the time. Anyway he got EXTREMELY territorial! He had a hole that he always stayed in all the time and whenever the other fish swam by it he attacked.

Little Devil!! Haha JK

It is a 24g nano cube. i have decided on a stock list, i am going to get 2 clownfish and a cleaner crew to start out with, then i am going to get a firefish, and eventually i am going to get a scooter blenny, a starfish, and maybe some corals.

oh and it is not that blue, i think it was because of the flash
