im kinda toying with the idea of setting up a saltwater tank ...

i have a (i think) 29 gal. tank, otherwise, i'd be starting from scratch.

can anybody give me a rough idea what i'd need and be spending to get it up and running with a couple of fish and some coral etc?

 

at least $200?

 

aye damn! :eek3:

well, i knew it would cost quite a bit....

im assuming i need a heater, some special rocks or something, filtration system.... salt? fish, etc....

 

fishtanks are for ballas h:


but they sure are nice.

 

yeah a saltwater tank requires a lot mote maintenence than a freshwater tank
alleast 250 for a good filtration system and 150-200 more if you have coral for a protein skimmer
fish are damn expensive too

 

yeah they are, i just need to decide if i want to keep it at my house or my gf's house... either way im gonna have to move it in a year or 2.... which is why im only toying with the idea and not hellbent on it...

 

stick to your own place. you never know what the broads wil do.

 

except that im supposed to marry the girl :chuckles:

i guess i should point out that my place = mom and dads place h:

 

You really need to consider lighting. Salt water tanks need much more lighting than what you'd expect. I browse fishinthe.net from time to time, it may be useful.

 

does anybody here have a saltwater tank?

i mean, the voice of experience.... id be interested to know what setups people are using right now... to get a better idea of what i'd be looking for
