Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, but I know I'll be here quite often. Anyway, I've been living the FW life for a while now. I have a 90 gal. tank with 2 Red oscars and a clown knife. But I'm ready to go SW!!! I've done a bit of research on the internet and visited a few lfs, but nothing is more important than word of mouth advice and the opinions of experienced fish fanatics. I know that i need to upgrade to a wet/dry filter from my current hob, but does size matter? (lol that's not what i meant) I'm not sure how big/powerful/efficient a w/d filter needs to be for a 90g tank. Next, protein skimmers. Is there a minimum gph or some sort of rating that I need to get? And how much is too much for each of these. I have a reputation for getting ripped off a lot. I just don't know how much too spend. And btw, I'm planning on starting off with a fish-only tank, but maybe I'll upgrade to reef with more experience. Lighting doesn't need to be changed, does it(for fish-only)? Any recommendations for sand? starter fish to cycle my tank? strong-natured sw fish that won't die as easily as others?
Anyway, I'll be back often to do more of my homework. Thank you to those of you who took the time to read this, and a 1,000 thanks more to those who are willing to reply.
