AllyG Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 As the Title says I want to start my own nano tank but I have no clue where to start. I have a fresh water tropical tank and 3 axolotl tanks. I have plenty of spare tanks and am looking for something new. 2 Quote Link to comment

patback Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 What do you want to ultimately keep? Once you have that figured out, you'll need to find a good light, water source and salt, and power heads and rock at a minimum. (Assuming you have a heater already.) 3 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 You'll want to do tons and tons and tons of research, and when you think you've researched everything you could, research some more. There's always more to be learned in this hobby. I would plan to research at least for a couple of months before getting started (I spent 6 months at it before beginning a saltwater tank). The beginner section and the articles are a good starting point. Saltwater is immensely different in a lot of ways than fresh so there's a pretty steep learning curve, but it's an enjoyable challenge and totally worth it. 3 Quote Link to comment
