I'm such a beginner that I'm reading The Conscious Aquarist and am just trying to figure out where to start. My plan, so far, is to start with a FOWLR tank. I am space challeneged, as I'm sure many on here are. I live in a Queens 1 bedroom apartment. I think I can fit a 36" wide tank. I was looking at a bow front 46 gal. tank. I had also thought of a little smaller and getting a 24 gal. nano, but I understand that they can be tough for a beginner. The guy from the LFS reccomended the 24 gal. nano because it is an easier start in terms of equipment. But I have to say that store has a bad rep for customer service and thanks to this forum I saw great reviews for 2 stores in Queens which I plan to visit next weekend.
Anyway, I just wanted to post an introduction and I'm sure I will have questions! Meanwhile I am loving some of the tank setups pictured here.
