Fish Tank for sale (pic)
I pick it up tomorrow. Pic seemed to make it look it good shape, we'll see.
Im not sure what I want to do.
I want to do a mainly coral tank with a clown fish and a few snails and a clam or two.... but I haven't ever done it nor know what I need to do for it... Like a sump... do i need one? Been reading in the saltwater section for the last 4 days purely to get a grasp but i really dont want to lay down a bunch of cash for coral and fish then have them die.
Some of the articles aren't specific on how a sump works and how a design should be made if you make one let alone what gear to use for a specific size tank. Or a list of needed tools - like where i can get them a good price and what is a good brand vs another.
I don't know how much room is in the stand for a sump so I can't say if a 20 long would be ok or what (would that be a suitable size tank for a sump? Also... what/why does some have what looks to be live rock on the sump area while some dont?
Since the tank is drilled for plumping is it possible NOT to drill? I'd rather not mess with cutting glass. Kinda not sure what to get on pumps and other gear needed.
Anyone care to help me out? If you really want to help me out I'm on AIM, YIM, and MSN. As well as Skype. lol
