New to The site / nano's / and the atlanta area

[brucepjr]

Hey all

Wanted to stop in and say hello. I'm not new to reefing but am new to Nano's. I was wondering
If anyone could recommend a Plug and Play that that they've had great experiences with. I live in acworth and am also looking for a local fish store that you guys and gals might recommend. Thanks for any help in advanced.

Welcome neighbor!
I recommend Optimum Aquarium, very close by to you.
Those guys are great!

Welcome aboard! You should check out Optium Aquarium in Kennesaw on Barrett Parkway. It's in the shopping center with Outback's.

I really like the Fluval Evo 13.5 gal, leds, etc. Bought a second one at Atlanta Aquarium for $150 recently. My clam and corals (mostly a zoa garden) are doing well and tank has a contemporary style which is aesthetically pleasing

Thanks guys, I'm gonna take a ride over there tonight!

Welcome!!!! You'll find help here! I wasn't on the nano size tanks but I'll start a biocube 29 soon, don't know of it fits this category lol!
But if you really want expend a little more look into the new series of Nanos front red sea.

There's a spot in Woodstock that's good if you live on that side of Acworth. I think it's creation pet.

Welcome, I live in the Acworth area too. I have a IM Lagoon 25 and Biocube 32, both being great great nano tanks to start out with. "Plug and Play" is kind of subjective who you talk to but the Biocube meets this definition more closely as it comes with a lid/led light. As with any tank, I would recommend a few upfront upgrades (such a InTank media baskets for the Biocube/Lagoon) and possibly nano skimmers but both should do extremely well for you.

As for stores, I buy most of my fish online.....go to the Reef Shac for Corals......and Optimum for occasional supplies. Reef Shac does not honor the ARC discount and Optimum honors 10% off only on livestock. Happy Reefing!!
