New to the hobby

steeds · Jan 5, 2023

Hello All! Just starting out in this new hobby. Stoke level is high. Just ordered a Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula from my local fish store. Curious what ATO I should look into? Anyone have inputs one the light that comes with and if that is something I should look at swapping out? Plan is to take it slow, and build into a larger display for my living room using items cultivated in the nano.

thanks,

Seth

Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It's never too early to start!

This might help you find people local to you in Layton:
