so confused.pc,vho,mh?what would be the best all arround setup.don't know what corals i want yet don't want to be limited by not having enough light.and any info to find the cheapest lights would be great since i'm tight right now.

should i just was out the stuff i have now or should i buy new or go bare.

one more thing my substrate is argo live right now could i go with a bare bottom to keep algea down or change to sand.could you use play groung sand like a freshwater setup.

right now i have a 90 setup with cichlids in it that are out growing the tank.I also have a 180 sw tank that has been set up for about six months.i want to switch the setups because i don't have room for another big tank and the 180 is 8ft long so it's a lot of work and$$ for the lights that i...

my moon coral has long strands of slime coming out of it and a dark green looking nugget on the top of it any help and info would be great thanks.

hey chucker i'm from the rochester area also. what lfs do go to and is marine oasis better than carribean forrest.

I just got some christmas money in the mail and don't know what to buy.I have a 180 gal tank with two tetratec 400's and a wet/dry sumpand 150lbs of lr for filtration.The lfs tells me i don't need a skimmer but i 'm not to sure about that.Or should i get a ro unit.

i went to to the lfs and took some of your suggestions.i got 40lbs of dry rock and got 65lbs of live rock that was in the same tank as the first 50lbs i bought.now my question is do i have to wait for my tank to cycle again to add some critters.what type of cleaners should i add to control hair...

after reading the other books in my library i agree the book sucks,and i plan on doing some skimmer shopping this weekend.as far as adding the rock to the tank. would it be a problem even if the rock is already cured and it is coming from the same tank at my lfs?

i only have 50lbs of live rock in it now with one damsel.iwas planning on getting 100lbs this weekend.do you recomend getting a skimmer first or should i put the rock in first while i have the money for the rock.

i don't have a skimmer.i have 2 tetrtec 400's and wet/dry sump for a 180 gal tank.the lfs told me that would be good.do you think i need a skimmer if so what do you suggest.the latest book i'm reading is salt water aquaruims for dummies by i don't know.
