    It all started with a freshwater fish tank bought at a garage sale to a Nuvo 16 gallon saltwater tank. When purchasing fish at Petco I noticed how I wanted Coral in my tank along with a clownfish for the kiddos. I know Petco sucks on fish ( well at least the one I went to did) but any saltwater supplies will be bought at my lfs. So now im a proud owner of my first saltwater tank and joined here to get all my info before I start this long journey. Any noobie info is defiantly recommended especially if you have a Nuvo 16 yourself...

    Thanks

    Welcome to saltwater and the forum! I just started a NUVO 8 and for an AIO setup they're great. My advice, be patient and ask questions. Lots of problems can arise from rushing this. Can't wait to see your tank!

    Hello! I too have just started a Nuvo 16 and am new to the hobby. I am about 2 weeks into it now and it has been great fun learning about this hobby. Looking forward to pics!
