I have a friend who wants to start a saltwater tank. He has had a fresh before but has lots of ??? about getting started. I thought I would post here to get the expert panels option. He wants to have corals and fish, for fish choices he likes the green MD and a blue spoted jawfish. He also wants a clown and a nem. I have warned him about the nems for at least a year and is willing to wait. He is looking at a 75gal tank.
Ok so that is the basics, so he doesn't end up with the excate same tank as me, what else would he need. Skimmer, please list names so he can do reascearch, power head what brand does everyone like, fug --no fug pros and cons to each, return pump brands again, and last but not least lights what do you got and what do you like about it.
Also think if you would like to post a FTS to show him what you got it would help him get an idea of what is possible. Any thing else you would like to post that you wish you knew when you set up your first tank would also be help full. He is aware of the cycle and the need for RO water and testing equpiment. Any fish you think would go good with these would also be great, along with a few web sites where to look things up and order things from. Thanks for all the help and I will keep you updated how this goes. He is still looking for a tank and says he plans on getting wet the end of April. Hopefully by then we have a new friend on LR.
