Hi everyone,

This is my very first post and we are BRAND NEW to aquariums. My son, who lives, eats, and breathes fish has been asking for a saltwater fish tank for the last 10 years! We are giving in...

The nano tanks (Red Sea Max 250, JBJ 30g, biocube 29) are all interesting to us because they are somewhat self contained and seem easy enough to set up, etc. Less intimidating for a beginner...

My son is extremely responsible and never loses anything and I honestly believe he will be great with this tank (as a back up we have an aquarium maintenance person to help us out, if needed).

What type of tank would you recommend. He likes the Red Sea Max 250 because he wants to get some fish that won't work in a 30g tank. I also see lots of talk about Concept Aquariums but wonder if they would do a set up similar to a nano tank?

All suggestions would be extremely helpful...

Thanks!
