Greetings folks,
Well I am considering taking the plunge back into marine. I say back, because some 20 years ago I had a very nice marine fish only set up. I had it up and running for a couple years and it was great fun. Unfortunatly life got busy and I began moving often. Now things might just be getting ready to start slowing down again and I want to set up another tank. This time it's going to be a REEF set up. Now I know there is a large difference in the way people do things from fish only to reef set ups.
I plan on going all out on the set up just not real sure if I need to...Hope that makes sence..
Tank size I am planning is 55-75 gal. Simple rectangle 48" length. I know bigger is better...
With all the changes I need to get ahold of some things to get this thing rolling.
Other than the Tank... Where to start? I need to buy an item at a time. I plan on getting all the equipment first then the tank. So given the Tank size what should I get first, second..third, etc...? I am a hard core buy it first, buy it once
Oh I have one more MAJOR move comming up and that's the reason for buying items first. Ideally this will be the last move and that's when I want to get this tank up and running
Any way, some advice is very much appreciated
