    Beginner: 20 Gallons-2Clown-Anemone?

    That's the problem I'm having. I can't find the output or anything. I think I may still have the box the light came in so I'll look at that, but I've looked and looked online. Even Aqueon, the company itself, only gives so much information. Keep looking! As will I!

    Beginner: 20 Gallons-2Clown-Anemone?

    Hey all, I've also been busy with school and work I've forgotten to check back on here. I've finally got my 55 gallon set up and just ordering decor and putting together the last minute stuff. Fish will be transferred pretty soon, next week probably. The LEDs are perfect, very bright and I...

    I may look into LED's I just bought a 48" Aqueon LED light bar for my 55gallon and put the glass lids on it. Looks pretty dang nice haha. So maybe a skimmer and a look at the chart. Do you happen to have a link?

    What type of lighting would be one to look at? Type, Watts, certain company? PWC? And I've heard someone talk about a mini protein skimmer, good idea?

    So many questions. Much advice needed!!

    I bought my 55gallon that I have now. So the tank alone was $1/gallon, so $55. At the time I thought that was pretty good.. now that I've seen some of the craigslist sales...yeahhh lol

    Even though it is only a 20 Gallon that im turning into a SW, it's definitely exciting. I would have loved to put my 55 to it, but even from what I've heard and the type of fish I would like I feel like to adequately do a SW I would want at least a 100-125 gallon. Maybe not, but I wouldn't want...

    I'm open to other types, I just don't know too many types of coral just known that Clowns are typically related with anemonies unless youre speaking with an advanced aquarist or so on. That and of course I like the look of anemonies, but im open to suggestions! Do you have more types that may...

    Nope, not yet. It'll probably be a little bit as I'm working on setting up a 55gallon FW tank first. The 20gallon SW tank is next in line though.

    I definitely have to say I am pretty surprised at the trades you made..75g for $20 and then a 220g for an xbox... hmmm. lmao pretty neat though. I went to a LFS and they had a sale, $1/gallon.. well I took advantage of it (so much for a sale on my part :banghead:). Anyways, luckily I bought it...

    Hey Marty, haha thanks for helpin' so much. I appreciate it! ATM I have actually just added water to my 55gallon gallon, making sure no leaks. Then possibly going to pick up a good filter for it tomorrow. Still need gravel and cover for the fish going in it, but soon as I get that the tanke...

    Well, as it is only a 20 Gallon, would I have room for corals? I'm not sure what all to put in the tank to be honest. I just know I'd like to have two clowns. Do you have any thoughts on the bubble tip anemones, or even what to put in the tank? I'm still currently doing a little of my own research.

    As much as I use Craigslist, I cant believe I didn't think of looking up aquarium equipment lol

    Jeez, I use Craigslist all the time. I suppose I never thought about searching for fish tanks on it... Duh :facepalm:. Haha, thanks! $200 for a 125 gallon with everything. What do you define as "Everything"? lol

    I am new to the site and have many questions, which is why I am here. I have always wanted a salt water tank but always been told its best when using a larger tank, and I would agree when using common sense and logic. I just acquired a 55 Gallon tank and was really leaning toward putting to...

    I appreciate all the help and comments.. I understand that some may get upset that I have made some mistakes, DimDim, but understand that I came here to ask questions and get advice for a reason.. Until I can acquire a larger tank, I am setting up my 55 gallon and putting the 2 Oscars in...
