Hey,
this is my first time in this forum (i'm a freshwater nut at the moment)...
anyways my lfs has a pretty sweet sale for Boxing Day...and I think it might be the perfect opportunity for me to buy a nice big tank for a saltwater setup....i've always wanted a saltwater tank, but never really found any good deals until now..
so...here's the deal.... I can get a 65 gallon tank (36"Lx18"Wx24") for $90 CDN....which is a damn good deal imo.....but i'm not sure what filter would be best
Emperor 400??? $59.99CDN (not sure if it can run in sw tanks)
Eheim 2213 $99.99CDN (I think it's a canister)
Filstar XP1/XP2/XP3 starting at $79CDN (not sure what i need...maybe an XP2???)
i basically will be seting up a sw tank with live rock, anenomies, live coral, clown fish, maybe a puffer or two......basically I want a variety of fish......
can anyone lend some advice?? what filter is best??
What other pieces of equipment should I try and buy now??? i think they have a sale on protein skimmers too.....I don't plan on setting this thing up until later next year....i just don't wany to miss this sale!
