    This is my first saltwater tank. My wife and I were planning the theme for our daughter's room and settled on fish theme. She wanted one of those stupid aquarium things to go in the crib so I said, I've always wanted to try a saltwater tank, so here we are. It's a 24 gal nano cube, I have added al chiller, as we live in AZ. I has been running for 11mo. now with no problems. Everyone is happy. My wife says I have to start another for our next baby because it would'nt be fair. Darn. Oh well. I wonder if it's ok for one kid to have a tank bigger than the other one? IMG_1978.JPG

    Yes that is a full tank shot. I am only running the compact florescents that come with it. I is the JBJ so it has the dual 36w 50/50'S.
