Aquarium Advice FINatic
So I've been thinking about a SW tank for a few weeks now. but I have some reserves about it. mostly cost.
I do have a spare 40GB that has never ever been used, and I also have a 125G that can be redone.(125 has FW fish in it, but I can divide them between a 55 and the 40GB(once setup)).
any suggestions on which tank to use?
I was thinking a reef setup since I like the idea of live coral, shrimp, a crab or two lol and fish. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried reading the articles on this forum but all I seem to do is get overwhelmed with soooooooo much information.
If it turns out that the 125 would be better I currently have two AC 110's on it, is that enough?
I've heard and read that SW initial setup can cost an arm and a leg, i know its important to set things up properly the first time... and that is my goal. but i'd love not to empty the bank trying to do it. so any suggestions on cost effective setups would also be wonderful.
thats all i have for questions at the moment but if anything springs to mind i'll throw it on here.
thanks in advance!!
