A thread will defiantly be started. I'm going to need a lot of help ;)

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions and ideas. My wife is on board with the tank so once we put aside some extra money the tank will be ordered and we will be up and running. My 2 yr old son is going to have a blast watching the fish.

What kind of recommendations do you guys have for a heater, thermometer, powerhead for the biocube? I've been looking at the websites and have no idea what products are good and reliable so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Carey In an earlier post on one of your threads u recommended the Bio Cube 29 package deal from InTank.com. What exactly does that do for the Cube that the regular set up doesn't?

Thank u for the websites...I just hit hem hard and got an idea of what this set up will cost me. It's an expensive hobby. I'd hate to see what it would cost to set up a large tank. I have the spot in my house to set up the tank and I have all the plans in my head....just have to get my wife...

Thank you Carey. I read it and sounds like a time consuming process. Good thing I'm a patient man. I'm researching costs of supplies and was wondering if anyone could recommend some websites they've used in the past.

I did not see that stickie but I'm reading one on saltwater tank set up which seems to be informative. It will help me figure out the approximate expenses.

Oh ok. So I don't have to go crazy with the live rock. When starting, is it hard to get the tank levels stabilized in order to add fish? I wasn't very good at chemistry so this is also a concern for me.

Thanks...I will defiantly consider some of the coral recommendations. My next question is live rock and base rock. How do u know how much total rock to use? Is it just preference or is there a formula? Once that is decided...how do u determine how much live rock and how much base? I will...

I'm a little nervous to have coral in a tank because I'm new at this and I'm assuming coral takes a lot more care than a fowlr. I figured I'd get my feet wet with the fowlr and maybe move to coral after a while. How much time out of the week is dedicated to your aquarium? How often do you do...

I'm new to the aquarium world. I've never owned a fish before so I'm looking for a lot of advice on sw fowlr tanks. Any and all advise will be greatly appreciated. I've been researching the 29 gallon bio cube because of the square shape (pretty much all I have room for) and because it looks...

I couldnt find any local stores selling salt water fish so I stopped by a pet goods. I was not impressed with there service or quality of fish. Does anyone know of another option? I'm in lower westchester ny. I actually wanted to look at the bio cube but couldn't find one...is That an...

My 2 year old loves watching his beta fish in his bowl so I figured I'd give him something bigger and more fun for him (and more fun for me). I'm leaning toward a small tank like the bio cube because I'm new to this and don't have much room for a big tank.

How many fish do u think I could get away with in the 29 cube...I'm not thinking any bigger than clown fish. I read that clown fish like to be in pairs...can u pair up a orange/white with a black/white? What other fish r good for the 29 cube?

Thank you for such a quick response. Does the cube come with a filtration system already installed? And if so, is it strong enough to handle a fowlr set up? As I said before I'm new to this and am trying to figure out what kind of set up works for my situation. Thank you for your input.
