Hello everyone, my wife wants to get me a saltwater aquarium for my 30th bday. I have been reading saltwater aquariums for dummies (like I said I'm a newb ) I am thinking that for my humble start I would like to start a FOWLR tank. I am looking at buying a corner 54g tank with a bowed front. My biggest question I guess is what it the best equipment to start with? After my research I think that the combinaton of the live rock, and a canister filter may be my best option. Also a protein skimmer seems to be a must. I was wondering if a airstone or two may also be appropriate. Also looking at a submersible heater. One other question I have is about the gravel. Should I use a crushed coral base then top with sand or just use one or the other. Sorry such a long post but I have so many questions. Any help or suggestions on what to use to get started would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!
