Well in search of a new hobby I grew very interested in starting a Nano Tank. I needed something to take my attention away from modding my car, which was costing me an arm and a leg. So last week I went to my LFS and was looking for a tank. I ran into a 24 Gal. Aquapod, which would fit my needs for now. I'm not too sure of the specs on this tank, but everything is stock running.

Fresh out of the box...
*Note I made a stupid mistake of taking all the info from the lfs employee as gospel. Do not start out with tap water from the hose and then mix it with salt. I wasted $20 and about an hour of time taking the water out. Newbie mistake. I now know to ask you guys first before taking the lfs' advice. You guys aren't the ones going into my pockets.

No pic, but filled it up with sw from the lfs and put live sand in.

Picked up 20 pounds of Fiji rock and bought 2 damsels
Water was murky from the sand settling and I just stacked the rocks on top of each other.

Everything settled down and I rearranged the rocks.
Also ordered these tank supplies...
This master test kit was $32.99 and Petco and I bought it from drfostersmith.com for $13.49!
I have to slow down now and wait for some algae to grow, next step will be adding the cleanup crew, nemo, and some coral. This is fun.
