I actually still plan on having the HOB filter, since i dont really want that much live rock as first due to cash restrictions. Same thing about having a QT tank. But once i move, ill determine amount of room for all this withing my stand. I went looking today, rena filstar XP3 ,canister...

is 75# goin to fit in 55gal tank and still give me room for 2 clowns n 1 yt, and a blenny(spelling)? i would rather have several stones spread acros tank n stacked 2 or 3 high..then 1 large 1 that obsects the tank. do i have to have a QT tank for a 55gal set up? thanks tn

thansk for the info tonight as always. continuing to be schooled on SW setup. so what is the purpose of powerheads? are they live wave makes in that they add underwater motion or stream of water shooting to other side of tank underwater? so base rock is not the same as keys rock from...

thanks ar15, good lookin out.. someone else reccomended the emporer to me, the 400 version. But i went to petsmart and they had a sale on the canister, so i had to question it myself, because with a cansiter wont i have to just deal with the 2 tubes? DOes the emperor hob take up that much...

phyl. thanks for the insight and detail, and speedy response! so my thing with live rock..is i dont want to shell out big money on lighting and skimmer and sump since i am under 21 and paying for my own college way. SO IF i buy 35# from liverocks.com (which i have Read over 100 positive...

New SW thoughts. This is going to be in my bed room 1. Which filter, the Canister, Rena Filstar , xP2 300gph or emperor filter HOS, 400gph produces less noise (tho im a heavy sleeper), anyone familar with these products? 2. Should i still buy the 150watt heaters, or just opt for the...

UPDATE** Well i am going with 55gallon tank by TOPFIN with oak stand. Using 1 bag of Instant saltwater(the bag with the "nemo, clownfish" on front for $19. Will 1 bag be eough for 55gal tank? I might just by the other 5 or 10 gal from LFS premixed water. Anyone aganist me mixing the 2? I am...

@phyl. thanks for commenting. but at this rate and $$ for college. i am going to hold off on the shark, ive heard 125 gal. to 175 gal. would suffice. but no, at this point, im going with clownfish, ls, some things on bottom, maybe some lr if i figure out a superior lighting source for 75gal...

Ill check about dickson, so if i go with the 75gallon route,will i need 2 filters and more powerheads? Compared to if i stick with the 55gallon route. I know that with my ideas of 100or 125gal..then i will have to double up on equipment and what not to maintain. Can i get the same results if i...

yep. i do have some books by Fenner already, i'll have to look at title again. so mr. revhtree, will my 55gallon tank, listed above be suitable? I would buy other neccessary parts. Isnt rossville,ga like 20 min from chattanooga tennesse? thanks for the insight will continue to indulge in reading.

Ok, I just figured by getting 100gallon, then i will have room for future purchases and my goal is to have a banded shark-not really a major deal, but yea, im more of a start right person...and here in nashville all the combos ive seen were for tank and stand. I realize buying separate is...
