What to buy first?

[Joeballz]

I need to buy a light or live rock or dead rock this week. Which should i buy first? I have a light on the tank its just a crappy dual strip so i want to buy the current sundial t5ho. If i don't need the light right now i suppose i should buy the rock first? Im looking to start a reef setup.

i would go with the live rock since ur cyleing ur tank but the light is important

 

[Joeballz]

well is the light very necessary to have while cycling and helping the rock? if so ill pickup the light this week.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

Not at all.

 

[Joeballz]

either way ill have the light by the latest x mas time

rocks > wait for until cycle finishes > everything else.

well if u get such a great light it will serve no bigger purpose then the crappy one you originally have if you dont have any rock so i would go with the rock first, the light you dont need until you start putting coral in

 

[Joeballz]

well it looks like fishtown might be getting some of my business tomorrow.

unless of course you get an outstanding deal on the light that you couldnt pass up, always have to keep your eyes out for those

Your next purchase should be a book, followed closely by a ticket to the swap. Guaranteed $$$ well spent that might just save you $$$ down the road.

Exceptionally well said Randy :biggrin:

Books + swap = learning, savings, friends, eye opening

I agree, and watch the tank threads right here on MR. You will find a wide range of experiences with various systems.
