Hello guys,

I am Chris and a new hobbyist to the reef world! I previously kept planted tanks, bred guppies and now breeding caridina shrimps such as Pure Red Line, Black Pinto, etc.

I have always been a fan of saltwater aquariums, would always stopped for a long time to watch and observe a saltwater tank when I bump into one, especially when I was a kid.

Now, I am toying with the idea of setting up a nano tank, I mean really small tank probably 2ft for a start, may or may not keep corals, probably would keep only 2 clownfish, a small yellow tang or some other suitable fishes for the nano tank. Keeping of corals would be fun, but I am not sure if I can handle that.

Would appreciate if you can shed me some lights, like what are the dos and don'ts, you could even throw me some complete newbie 101 guide, that would help.

Hit me up if you're from Malaysia too, we can certainly have a TT along the journey!

Cheers!

welcome! I found with my 15g nano that water change parameter swings were a bit much for corals. I should have probably found some "indestructible" corals instead of the ultra hard to care for ones that I bought and ended up giving away. lol. also watch the clowns species as some can get very large.

Welcome ... unfortunately, small yellow tangs don’t stay small for very long
Oh no.... guess I will have to give up the idea of keeping yellow tang, i like them for their energy! I was once got attracted by a yellow tank when it just kept swimming none stop for a long time!

Noted with thanks, definitely will read them up before heading to the LFS to shop for one.
As for the clowns, I'd probably be sticking with the most common ones, the captive bred orange clown, guess it is easily available in my area.
