Introduction
Started my first salt water tank with a few co-workers in the office tank. After a couple of months I came across a great deal on a nano tank and took the dive at home.
Background
A true impulse buy.
Now that I have everything running my patience has returned. I spend most days researching different corals and trying to decide if I really want fish. An invert/coral tank sounds very appealing.

Inspiration & Goals
My goals are to have a sweet ass nano tank with lots of unique colors and corals. Inspiration has mostly come in the way of seeing a different kind of coral that I haven't seen before.
Words of Wisdom
Patience is key.
Disasters & Regrets
Nothing yet. Still far too soon to regret anything..yet.
