Hey Reefers - am I crazy - first tank - Red Sea Nano Max

[Vicboihere]

Hey all,

I and just wanted to point out how cool this form is for NEWB's like myself! I have been stalking/reading/absorbing information for close to a year now, and I just finally made an account to introduce myself and ask if I'm crazy....?!

Goal: Create a lasting healthy ecosystem - life come first, my desires for looking "cool" second.

Tank: Red Sea Nano Max - space is an issue, has to be in my home office

First question, should I consider another small space path or AIO tank?

Secondly, if the Red sea Nano Max should be my cup of team, what are my must haves addons to start off with?

I'm not intimated by learning, and will be patent throughout this.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome! You are NOT crazy (because what would that make me and so many others?!?!) Glad you joined.

Defer to others on Red Sea Nano Max additions.

This is a great reference book type online article I still refer:

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...

Welcome to R2R glad you joined us. I would start with getting a good light, protein skimmer, heater preferably one with a controller, power head, mesh screen top for the jumpers, salinity checker. Well one thing I would do is go to myfirstfishtank.com. He has a starting list there.

I would check out innovative marine. I really like their tanks a lot more than Red Sea!

Welcome!

I am in a similar place as you, maybe just a few weeks ahead. I have my RedSea Reefer 170 being delivered next week and am currently researching the last 6 years or advancements in all the other necessary equipment and having problems making decisions between all of the options. Will follow along here and see what you come up with as well.
