ebin Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well I am one of those that thinks a nano cube is a waste of cash unless you wanna keep it stock. I started with one and think what I could have if I was smart and built my own aga system. i have shared that thought before and got blasted for it but hey They really are a basic half ass reef tank. Build your own setup dude it will pay off in the end remember metal halide! Link to comment
uglybuckling Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Agreed. Unless you're keeping your cube stock, get something else. The stock DX though isn't too terrible. I wouldn't describe it as "half-ass." It's got to be at least three quarters. --B Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Ebin: you and I seem to think eye-to-eye across the board. Every post I read from you is definitely on point w/ my perspectives. I don't know what the point was for saying that. but yeah. Uglybuckling: clear your PM, dude. I know you are a popular guy, but after my 10th attempt to PM, this is a little ridiculous! LOL. ditch the groupies and let me get a PM thru! Kappa:...I just don't know what to say to you. *shakes head* hahah. Link to comment
damikester Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 I appreciate all the opinions I've gotten. I've got a couple more months until I make a final decision and will continure to read, read, and read! BTW, Natural Reef Aqauriums is the only saltwater reference I've got so far. As far as I can tell, Tullock suggests a tank of 20 gallons or more for the novice marine aquarist. He also says something smaller can be done, but with rigorous attention to maintenance chores, and appropriate specimens. I guess that part's on me. Mike Link to comment

So yes, read, read, read. When your tank is set up, its a different story. Its going to be more like wait, wait, and wait. Patience is virtue in this hobby. Good luck. Link to comment
kappa Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ohnestly, I think I screwed up in this hobby starting with the nano cube because I bought it before learning of nano-reef forums. I should have started with a .5 gallon cute acrylic cube tank w/ 9 watts. Link to comment
