other than sand is their another type of gravel that i can put on a 10 or 20 gallon tank? and if i decide to place a hang on skimmer on the 20 gallon tank is a prizm skimmer and a aquaclear enough to maintain a fish only with maybe one anemone and a few rocks.keep in mind im trying to go as cheap as possible.

Sand is probably the cheapest thing you could put in there.

For what it's worth anemone and "setup on the cheap" don't usually go together.

First you should decide what you want to keep, then you can figure out the cheap way to keep it. Some things, like an anemone or some anthias, just aren't doable "on the cheap"

ok so i guess im goin to stick to my original plan and have a fish only with live rock.But i stick dont know which filter should i get im thinking of a aqua clear or a whisper, what do ya think?what should i equip my ten or 20 gallon with

[fritz]

I'd forgo either of those for a skimmer.
A remora will provide you with some flow and skimming goodness, I'd then add another power head to move water around. Your rock will filter the water just fine and the skimmer will handle the rest.

If' you're looking for something neat to put in the tank a shrimp goby & pistol shrimp would be a good choice. They are quite entertaining to watch.

A cpr bak-pak skimmer will also do the work for your size tank and its cheaper than remora.

Btw Andy, where's your previous tank?

lol,wow you remember my last tank well since i had to move i had to sell my tank plus i needed some money so i decided to sell it, i turned it to a freshwater because it was less hassle for me but i want a little saltwater set up in my room so the girls can find it nice when they come over,lol.anywayz so which one should i get fellas a remora or a cpr bak-pak skimmer.as far as the filter im going to stick with the aquaclear

[romain]

Its up to you. A used cpr is around 50 bucks while remora doubles.
