Ok I missed a lot! wooo. Sorry I had emergency surgery done so was out of commission for a little bit there. Was just able to get up around 2 days ago but here is where the tank stands (and yes I AM inexperienced but I took all the great advice!): 1. I bought 30lbs of crushed coral for the bed...

So ok..lighting issue solved :) I've started a running list (I actually copied a cost list from a website - www.reefsource.itgo.com/setup/hardware.html and I'm modifying with the items you guys have suggested.) It's a handy little thing though for sure because not only is it starting to firm up...

You two are totally hooking me up. woohoo! I swear I've learned more in this conversation than literally three solid days of internet research. Being the entreprenuer that I am - I think the two of you should collaborate on a "Reefbuilding for Dummies" book. No joke. Eveything the two of have...

I really seriously mean this - thank you sooooooo much. Wade - you've been incredibly kind, patient & instructive and Tackett - I'm speechless! That must have taken you forever to write - moreover the time you took to provide links and options and the sheer educational information. A mere thank...

Okie thanks. Glad we didn't get sand :D We did get a few small peices of jetty rock that has few barnacles and dead oyster shell with some tiny mussels and a few tidbits of algae. I've put them in the water (the tank is JUST water at this point so no harm done if these critters are no-no's)...

Hi Wade, Thanks for the info!! It's GREATLY appreciated - but I have a question - why no beach sand?? That was the other thing on my list to get while we got rocks. And so it is illegal for me to get rocks from the beach?? We have several artifical jetties (to deter beach erosion) and though yes...

I live in Florida - a friend gave us a 29 gallon fish tank which she had used for fresh water and I figured I could convert it to salt water. The kids and I went to get sea water yesterday (and planned to get rocks today). I've been trying to do research on how to begin a reef but so far...
