Hi All,
Another new member here from Vancouver. I'm just in the planning stages, but I've had aquariums of various sorts pretty much my entire life, from the goldfish I tried to pet when I was 4, to my big idea of raising guppies for sale (I at least covered my equipment costs), to some monster Oscars in college. I've even done some saltwater, first was some dwarf seahorses from Aqualand in the 70's (remember those ads in the back of magazines like Boy's Life and Popular Science?).
Anyway, about a month ago my wife looked at my 20 year old, 20 gallon hex freshwater planted tank as said that I could get a new one for Christmas! So I started looking into nano reefs and was quite impressed where the technology is today.
While my plans may change (they certainly have changed a lot so far), right now I'm thinking about the Solana 34 gallon all in one cube. I'm also seriously considering splurging on an LED lighting system, mostly because I don't want a chiller, but also because of the flexibility of adjusting color temp and intensity.
I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions, but just wanted to say Hi!
