MingZheng Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi everyone, i am new to this marine keeping hobby. Wondering which LFS helps to build marine fish tanks which i can just plug and play? looking to build a tank size less than 1ft to put on my study table. Thank you so much!

SRC Member daveyy Posted January 11, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted January 11, 2016 U can go pacific reef. They do sell those plug and play set, complete with led , protein skimmer etc. But for beginner would recommend you stay away from 1ft (or other small size tank) as the parameter will be very difficult to maintain (for beginner) from the evaporation. And since water is in small volume, little to no room for error. Sent from my potato using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingZheng Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks for the reply bro daveyy, i have been keeping freshwater fishes for almost 4 years, so wanting to try out something new. Just want something like a cube tank on my study table and my budget is not high either. Somewhere about $400-$500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For plug and play set shouldn't be more ex than 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member 0ekkeoo Posted January 12, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted January 12, 2016 remembered madpetz do have a nano display tank with nice corals (1-1.5ft) , u can take a look and see if thats what u want. Believe they do carry plug and pplay nano set too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tropic Posted January 20, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted January 20, 2016 The smaller the tank the larger the error margin. Try go for a little bigger than a 1ft at least. Those you see at shops they diligently maintain daily. Start from a good foundation and it will bring you further. Start wrong and you may get disappointed when things don't turn out well like how you wanted. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingZheng Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks for all the replies. Decided to go for at least 2 feet tank with a sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
