Aquarium Advice Newbie
So I thought it would be cool to have a saltwater fish tank and mentioned this at work.
To my surprise a co-worker was selling theirs.
After many warnings from friends of the "high maintanence" and "high cost", I bought her whole set up for $200 . That included an established 55 gallon tank in an oak cabinet with lights, a hood, a protien skimmer, an undergravel filter w/powerheads, air pumps and air stones, not to mention the live rock, 2 clowns and 2 types of damsels, large decrotive coral and shells (and everything else under the sun that I would possibly need - salt, buckets, heaters, all tests, food, replacement everything, etc, etc, etc).
Needless to say I absolutely love it!!!
(By the way, I disagree that it is exspensive and "high maintanence", I mean, just look at gardening, scrapbooking, or other hobbies).
I can't wait to learn more and add to it. It has only been about 3 months and my husband and I are ready for another larger reef tank.
I live in Ukiah, California and would like to start a local club to meet other local aquarists.
See you around.
