I found this amazing website, Classroom Touch Tank - ZeroEdge Aquarium and found out that they have touch tanks for sale. As a beginner, is it possible to keep marine invertebrae under examination in one of these? Has anybody done this before? Or is it way out of my experience? Just wondering if...

Great! Thanks so much I found the website and it looks really promising! I'm right down the rode from Shem Creek, if you know where that is. Pretty neat stuff! We're not that tight on money... it's just whether my dad wants to spend it all! Haha nice to meet you

Thanks for the info about the nanocube, I think I'll just stick to the Biocube though because it's the one I'm most familiar with :-) Where is Tideline Aquatics located at? I'm near Sullivan's Island so I'm near just about everything! I'm so glad to hear we have something other than Petco and...

Woah these Red Sea Max kits look really cool! My only complaint is the price, though :/ not sure if my dad will like it!

After reading reviews on both of the brands, I heard alot of people saying their NanoCube overheats and tends to have cracks in the corners :/ Is that true or possibly just a bad tank they got? I have heard of the RSM tanks however havn't looked into them. Is there any major difference? I'm...

Thanks Bifferwine! It's great to hear that coming from you! Can't wait to get this thing started.

Thanks, yeah I don't like the look as much either, but i've heard complaints on other cubes. I've taken the Nanocube into consideration, but I've just heard to many thumbs down :/

Thanks guys, unfortunetly, i never had to 55 gallon. It was a steal, $350 for almost everything i needed. My mom and I were all for it but when we discussed it with my dad it wasn't going to happen. He would allow a smaller tank, and said he would consider the Biocube. So, i'm going with what i...

Great thanks! Yeah I thought to myself, "If I'm going to go small, might as well go with a biocube" Hah can't wait to set this baby up. I'm going to talk to my dad about when I can order it or see if they've got any at my LFS

Thanks guys turns out the deals down, my dad's not liking to 55 gallon. Thanks for all your help though! I really wished it could've worked out, but read my thread about the 29 gallon biocube he'll let me get in the New to reefing section! Thanks again! ):

Okay hello everybody you may have read my thread in the "Introduce Yourself" section that was about the 55 gallon used custom aquarium. So my dad and I were talking about it, and he looked at it closer and says that maybe I'm starting too big. I disagree, and think that it is a fine size, but...

Thanks Biff for the advice! I had a fealing he was pulling my leg on the lighting issue, and I'll make sure to ask about the bulbs. I guess the oyster part is out of the question - I was just wondering If i could take advantage of the ocean I live by! I was wondering also, (i'll most likely have...

Yep i was worrying about the parasite issue, too. I'm not sure if I would consider boiling it, because then wouldn't all the good bacteria die off of it? Also, i've seen parasites on sea trout i've caught, but never on any shells or oysters. I would look over them for sure, but I guess theres no...

Hello Again! I have a new question (already, i know) Is it possible to use oysters as part of my aquascape? I live on a harbor where I can harvest a few shells, not whole live thing, and add it to my tank. Is it possible that it could serve as a substitute for live rock? I would still keep...

Thanks for the advice, Mesh. I'll update any new information I can get from the guys :/
