Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Greetings to all! I recently on an impulse (damn petsmart ) bought a 29 gal tank kit, and I have decided to to make a reef/fish tank. I would like to know some opinions on what brands and/or types of products you all could recommend. Especially on protein skimmers, and HOB filters.
I've been getting conflicting info from two different LFS and some books and online articles I've read. And are UV sterilizers really necessary?
One store says yes, one says no. One store says SW much more difficult than FW, one says opposite! :?
I haven't really made up my mind on what to have in the tank, I know I would like an anenome and a clown or two, maybe a fire shrimp. I would like a blue tang or a yellow, but LFS says 29 too small and not good tank mates for clowns. Maybe in a 55? LFS has one with light hood and stand for $150. Good deal?
Any advice would surely help this SW novice out before I get in a mess!
I only have exp. in FW and bettas, SW is a whole new enchilada for me.
