Hello everyone,
I joined the site about a week ago and am in the planning phase of a new saltwater aquarium build. I think i've decided on the WaterBox Marine 70.3 Plus Edition as my initial basic setup. The primary goal is to have some corals and a few fish, my daughter really wants a Nemo clownfish - she'd love to have a Dory blue tang but I don't think we've got the space for the size tank that would require. So, right now i am in the process of deciding where the tank will live - see pic below for the 3 places I'm considering and let me know what you think???
I'm a newcomer to saltwater - had a freshwater system in college and loved it, but that was many years ago. My wife would really like for it not to smell and to look good (she doesn't like the white/black cabinet options from WB, she'd rather me find something more aesthetically pleasing but that seems incredibly hard to find). I've been reading and prepping for the tank purchase for a couple months and I feel like i need to just order one and quit wasting time. Any input you guys/gals have for a firsttimer would be great. I've watched countless youtube videos about things from top 10 mistakes to top 5 pieces of equipment to nitrogen cycle to you name it. Is there a tried and true method to follow to prevent disease and ensure high probability of success?
Looking forward to getting going and any input on placement is much appreciated...
