Nurse getting into after work hobby

kLoRRn · Nov 18, 2021

Hi! I am an operating room nurse just starting my marine tank! I have several freshwater betta community tanks that I love dearly. I become absolutely fascinated with designer clownfish and decided to dive in. I have a bio cube 29 that I retrofitted with some LED lights and a protein skimmer. I recently added two black ice clownfish and I can't wait to watch my reef grow as time goes on. Any other nurses out there??

Welcome, nurse friend!
I actually just recently made a post asking where all my other nurses were! Nice to meet you!
Follow my Surprise 10g AIO thread, as the doc I work with just funded my new build!
My new tank arrived at my house today, and the doc gave me his credit card and said "Go for it! If you say we need it, get it!"

Welcome! Glad you joined. Thank you for all you do because being a nurse I know you put your heart and soul into helping others. Your tank is going to feed your own heart and soul with your own little bit of ocean to enjoy!

This is a good online article that is reference book style:

Welcome, nurses are great and I know as I had 29 operations.

But being a nurse you can use IV lines to dose chemicals in your tank.
