I'm moving your post to the proper forum for exposure...

I would highly recommend you look through our LFS listings and club listings:

I'm not in the area, but I'm with Wade, you should check the board for an LFS nearby that can help you out, and help you out fast.

Beyond that.. sue that jerk that took off on you in mid-setup of the tank.

Check out http://newyorkaquaria.com/, it's a good LFS in your area (Mamaroneck). Try to speak with the owner (Sal) - very knowledgeable guy.

he didnt take off he told me he was to busy and stuff and he himself wasnt to sure in hooking up the calcium reactor and kalk reactor he just told me to get all this stuff and he got in over his hesd (i think ) and the problem with ny aquaria is my friend and sal use to be partners so it woul be a slap in his face you know what i mean

It sounds like you're going to have a lot of questions. If you ask specific questions we can help, so ask away.

Also, check out the library on this site (check the top of the page). It has a beginner's guide and recommended reading lists. Get a good book or two. I second Wade's recommendations to search around for LFSs and local clubs too.

There's other good places around there if you're willing to drive a bit. A few that come to mind are House of Fins, and Reef & Fin in the Greenwich/Stamford, CT area. Also Absolutely Fish in Clifton, NJ. Places like this usually have aquarium maintenance staff that travel (not sure how far though) and they might be able to help you out initially (for a fee of course) until you're comfortable flying solo.
