    Bio-cube for a 3-1/2 yr. old?

    Just wondered your thoughts on this. I would love to purchase a very small FO tank (maybe 5 or 10 gal) for my daughter that would have only one or two clown fish. I realize that I will be doing any and all the maintenance with this tank but just wondered if it is possible and for a minimal...

    Nano-Cube, Bio-Cube or regular rectangular tank?

    This is my first post here so go easy on me. I am hoping to purchase and set-up a small saltwater tank for my 3 yr. old daughter and I must confess for me too. My question is that in the past I have read that a rectangular tank (even a small one) is much better than a sqaure or cube style tank...
