Hi I have just got my old tank back, it's been empty for a while now and needs cleaning.
But once that is done then what to do with it?
My tank is an Aq3 52 litre / 11 UK or 13 USA Gal tank.
15" Width, 15" Depth, 14" High.
It was a FW tank with a Male and Female BN's. (Anceistrus SP3)
But they where rehoused before I moved.
I've been thinking about a Nano Marine tank.
What would I need to change, get rid of, or keep?
Would I have to make any changes to the actual tank? (I'm not sure I'd be able to do that as it's glass.)
Maybe a FOWLR tank. Or maybe a FO tank. I'm not sure if it would be big enough for a Reef tank. (Even though I would love one even without the fish).
Maybe I should with FW.
So many choices...(I'm trying to get as many opinions before I dive in.)
FW would most likely be easer but Marine tanks are so pretty and are more than worth the heard work.
If it's to small for a nice Marine tank I may have to try to get a larger tank and look for one with all the bits built in
(I'll start poking my BF.)
I have a number of books on marine tanks and Nano tanks. I've also been doing a lot of reading and have been reading through some of the Diary posts on here. There are some amazing looking tanks.
I will appreciate any and all the advice that you wonderful people have to give me.
And I look forward to getting my tank back up and running.
