Cheers dude! :)
When you first started did you buy a whole marine tank setup? I am getting a tank tomorrow approximately 1mtr in length by 500mm deep and high.I then need which items? Lighting,protein skimmer,filter...? Is this all? Because a lady in a shop today said read all about "the nitrogen cycle" before you do anything?? What is it?! :)
 
Showcase? May have better luck in getting started. Welcome... it's addicting
 
what type of tank? is it drilled or not,I would definately go with drilled and a sump if you can,

Welcome
 
Thanks hinds! i really only want to keep some live coral,clownfish,Tangs and cleaners such as shrimp,snails etc! Yes I have a young boy who loves nemo! But I have been contemplating getting a real marine aquarium for years!! And now it's time.I have approx 1mtr tank.so where do I start? I need a filter,protein skimmer,sump?where's the cheapest place to purchase online?can you sendpics of your system? :)
 
Thank you David that's interesting! I have a work colleague who knows somebody who is making a tank at this size.I doubt it will be drilled :-( can you buy a system without having to drill the tank?

You can, but in the long run you're going to be glad you drilled it.
