So I have done a lot of research thusfar and just bought a trickle filter from my LFS along with a new pump, that will accomodate a uv kit in the future. I am going to plumb it in here in the next couple of weeks. I will post some pics if I can figure out how to. I would like to go with the...

I am taking the plunge into the saltwater and have just bought a 75gal corner overflow tank. That is about all I have so far. I have decided that I am going to do a trickle filter setup, but other than that I really don't know what else to do. I would like to start off with a fish only tank...
