Introduce live stock slowly. You have to give you bio filtration a chance to cathc up with the new bio load of a new fish or coral. I dont see a proble introducing two clowns at the same time but try to introduce things far apart like a week or so. You can start your tank either reef or fowlr however you wish its totally up to you. I can get Green star polyps to live in my system and other people think of it like a weed so its kinda wishy washy but I am sure I can do more to make sure my water quality is better but I jsut gave up on star polyps and stick to my xenia.
He means this is going to cost a bit. For my Tank and NO lighting with stand and canopy I paid about $800. I highly suggests lookig for a used tank and stand to start with. THere are a bunch of diamonds in the rough
Hey dude,
Dont take that "money" thing too seriously! (not) This hobby just sent me on a spending spree at Petsmart and Walmart and the LFS to pick up
"a few things" for my "new" reef propogation project - a few things that cost me over $350 :!: :!: :!:
This hobby will send u to the bank more than your wife.... It will make you hit an ATM like a victim of gamblers anonymous .....

Yeah, sutff realy adds up. A sump is a good idea since it gives u extra water volume, which is good, and a place to put your equipment. Thre are more reasons too, lots more.
Dont forget to quarantine. Itll save many a fish's lives. And find a good LFS. :wink:
BTW i finally reached {squat} YAYYAYYAYYAY

Squat is when you hit a thousand posts. It either means you know what your talking about by now or you just ppost a lot of nonsense. If your interested I have a HOT overflow I could sell you for a really good price, from my first reef tank that I slowly pieced together. I eventually upgraded to an internal overflow, but depending on what your doing if you need one let me know.
Hey JustReefit....I saved big time $$$ going used. There is always someone, who is moving, tired of maint., upgrading, or low on cash looking to sell stuff. I got a great deal on a used running system and was able to spend the cash I saved to upgrade to better lights, back up filtration, etc. My LFS was bummed when they found out that I wasn't going to spend 4 grand in their store, but at least I have money to spend there on little stuff and livestock. I hope all of these opinions don't cause you to lose focus...it's supposed to be fun right?
