    Hi,

    I just got started in the saltwater hobby. I had an extra empty 2.5 gallon tank (previously freshwater) sitting around and let a friend talk me into putting some live rock into the tank. Now the rock is blooming with all kinds of stuff. Obviously I can't do much with what I have, so I am looking into getting a small biocube or similar. The tank is in my office, so I have to keep it fairly small. Hoping for 12 gallons or under. I really want to get something complete so I don't have to buy all the smaller accessories. Let me know if you have something for sale that fits my needs.

    Thanks!

    welcome to Maast and the addiction! I would get a tank as big as you fit, afford or wife will let you. i promise you will thank me. in this hobby smaller is harder, and when you get into this hobby you start scrambling to get a bigger tank. any more questions just ask.

    Thank you for all of your replies so far. I love the bigger tanks, I just don't think I have the room for it. I'll look into it a little more and see if I can do some rearranging. Who needs files in an office when you can have an aquarium, right?
    The 2.5 gallon I have set up right now seems to be doing really well. The parameters all look really good. I have some polyps, zooanthids, small kenya tree, and coralline algae growing on the rocks. The main problem is the lights are half blocked by a built in filter and there is not enough water flow or filtration to make the corals really thrive. I'd like to get everything moved into a tank actually made for a reef. I still think I need to keep it at 12 gallons or less due to size restrictions. I also do not plan on putting any fish in the tank, maybe just a couple inverts.
    Thanks to everyone!

    Right. That's why I have a desk, a 125, and a 150 in my office
