Ok, so I wanted to submit something for the zoo's contest and show how I got started, progressed and am currently at as well.
I am very new to the hobby, and started a little less than a year ago with a 14g biocube nano tank I got from my younger cousin, that was not doing much with it. This is what it looked like when I got it.
only had a couple hermit crabs and a maroon clown.
First thing I did was throw in a couple Turbo snails and the tank was clean!
- added more rock -
..
Then added still more rock and a Bangaii Cardinal...(bad idea, it died withing a week, probably the nitrates, as I said I was very new to this hobby and still am.)
.
I had this set up for a couple months when I quickly decided it was not enough and had to go a bit bigger, so I purchased a used 28g biocube from craigslist, along with another 20lbs of live sand and another 14lbs of live rock from the LFS.
