Sandi's first reef tank (JBJ Rimless 8g) : Build thread

[sandipan.ece]

Hi Guys,

 

I have been addicted to the fish keeping hobby for a long time. All these years I have done some fantastic, gigantic freshwater tank. Mostly discus tank. But sadly I had to move from my home town to Richmond, VA. I moved in to a rented place and took a break from the hobby since the last two years.

 

Few weeks ago, I moved to bigger place in the same area and thought about starting a new tank.

The authorities here do not allow large tanks. (I am big fan of large tanks.) And somehow got a permission to setup a small one.

 

I thought, why not salt water this time. And the thought stuck....

Read thousands of pages (web) of material on salt water and reef tanks. Spent hours and days researching things.

Now I think I am ready to start.

 

Here is my plan guys:

I will be setting up a JBJ Rimless 8 gallon nano tank. I kinda like the look of a rimless tank. Its cool...

I have ordered it online, along with a bunch of stuff, and its on its way.

 

I am expecting help and suggestions and constructive criticism as I go through the different stages of setting this tank. Feel free to add your comments, ask questions, provide suggestions. I will gladly accept them.

 

Next post: Stuff I ordered along with photos.
