Nano Cubes
Hi guys
I’ve been lurking for a couple of weeks so hope you are all well.
Not sure if there are any other members from the UK in the group so I apologise if I use different terms as we tend to use the metric system for volume and temperature etc.
To add to the nano cube debate it is evident from the recent aquaria shows around the world this year that small is once again beautiful. Technology for setting up, supporting and maintaining a small tank has progressed considerably in recent years. Although a smaller aquarium will generally cost less than a larger one as running costs should be lower, a small volume of water is much harder to maintain even for an experienced aquarist.
Fundamentally I consider any decision to keep fish and other aquatic life, be it in cold-water, tropical or marine set-ups should be based on the desire to create the best possible living environment for the occupants. In order to do so requires both time and money.
I am researching the possibility of setting up a marine tank, having kept several tropical tanks for over 15 years. My local stockist refers to the cold-water and tropical fish sections of his shop as black and white and the marine section as colour and its easy to see why but there are beautiful cold-water and tropical fish that are relatively inexpensive and easy to keep.
To follow the advice of those who have posted before if you have the time and money to set up a marine tank and are prepared to learn then the very best of luck, inevitably there will be mistakes. Every fishkeeper experiences problems, some are of their own making and other things just happen. Knowing what to do, who to call or email, when things go wrong is all part of the learning.
Regards
Steve

I might be out of line here, but failing means death to the animals involved, and not a pleasant one. It’s also why many people leave the hobby because they set themselves up for failure. Salt water fish keeping is expensive and not easy to do correctly. Dana Rasmussen Seattle
