I've been enjoying the posts from R2R on facebook for a while now, and decided to join up today. I had kept marine aquariums off and on since 1986, and tried my hand at a reef, but did not enjoy a lot of success. It seemed that fish-only tanks were easier to maintain back then. I even had a 10 gallon tank made into a partitioned wet-dry system back in 1990, and it still works well today! I have a couple of tank raised Percula Clownfish, an Electric Blue Damsel, and a couple of Hermit Crabs in it, and they have all been happy for about 1-1/2 years now.
I'm thinking of getting one of these "nano-reefs" that are 5-10 gallons, and are self contained with proper lighting and filtration. I've even seen reef systems of this size that have a small protein skimmer built in! Anyway, I would appreciate any advice on good brands and models to consider. I'm not that "up to speed" on this miniature scale reef system, but I would like to get one and try my hand at it. Thanks again! John J in SC
