Thanks everyone! I'm not sure which way to start off. With a nano, or a larger tank. Either way I want to use high quality/high efficient equipment. I'm dead set on being as prepared as possible for this so I'm going to take my time and research all factors involved. What did you guys do starting off and how did you make out? What mistakes (if any) did you make along the way? I've kept fresh water aquariums throughout my life but this all seems like a whole different world with all the different filtration systems and equipment needed and how they work with each other. Crazy plumbing going into peoples basement filtration systems, and setups that look like they require their own nuclear power plant so they can run properly. You wonder what person in their right mind would devote so much time, work, and money on some fish and pet rocks. Until you see these beautiful, living, growing, works of art. It then makes perfect sense....
