    Hiya!

    I just found this forum today... Why? Because I just purchased my first BioCube yesterday! (14 gallon)

    I'm a total n00b! I heading to the library now to check out some books because I really am clueless about salt water tanks. I had a 55 gallon tank with a "brackish" set-up water and it was pretty mindless maintenance.

    Here is my plan... I want to use live rock and live sand. I'm thinking of getting a few damsels to start. I also ordered a skimmer even though I plan on doing weekly water changes.

    I'm super excited to get started and welcome any suggestions. ;D

    Welcome to 3reef. Cant wait to see pics of the cube. Never had a book either. I went to the LFS and bought the tank and rolled with it. Have learned so much from the guys/gals here.

    Welcome

    Hello and welcome to the forums here at 3REEF!

    Go slow with getting your tank set up. Yours is small sorry to say, the bigger tank size the more room to make mistakes. I would say 55gal or more to start out in this hobby would be the best. Just read these forums as much as your eyes can take, really it will help!


    Good luck,
    Mike
