    going to start a quarantine

    That all depends on where you live and what your trying to keep I'd ask a game warden or look up your city's fishing restrictions.

    rock work

    I think my tank looks a little bland with just a line of rocks in the middle I'm curious how people make those elaborate arch ways, hangovers and caves.

    Hi, sort of new!

    For sand you want a nice 1-2" deep sand bed and 60lbs of rock is good it doesn't all have to be live you could get 5-10lbs live and get dry base rock for the rest it would be cheaper that way. For lights read this...

    Stock question?

    Not really but with coral in the tank your water has to be more pristine than FOWLR tanks that's why reef tanks generally have less fish but if you have a 180 gallon tank you can stock it with any fish that can live in a 180 whether it's a reef or FOWLR as long as the fish are reef safe if it...

    trigger40's 40g FO tank!

    well that's great hopefully it gone for good. I was considering copper but I've heard bad things about it aswell and that it could possibly shorten there life and cause internal problems I'm not sure if it's true but I try not to dump meds in my tank unless its a last resort. That's...

    Hi, sort of new!

    You could use either method to cycle it just don't use live fish. Live rock can speed up the process depending on how much you get and how long it stays out of water the longer it stays out the more die off you have. Most of them like tropical temps so 76-78F so I'd say you'll probably need...

    Hi, sort of new!

    Yeah a hang on back will work and sadly no your gonna have to cycle the tank. FOWLR mean Fish Only With Live Rock but if you might be interested in coral mind aswell get a reef rated light just in case. A scooter might be to big for your tank. But there are more options like fire fish there are...

    Hi, sort of new!

    Alright then. As far as filtration goes you can use pretty much anything you could do a sump/refugium HOBs canisters or macro algae or a combination of them. Lighting all depends on your plans for the tank do you want FOWLR or reef. As far a stocking goes you could do a pair of clownfish or...

    What do I need before i buy anthing(other then stand and light)

    I've heard bad things about seaclone and api test kit. I also think since you want to do a reef tank you should get a refractormeter. You'll also need an RO/DI unit if you don't have one. And if you want to go with HOBs get an aquaclear 110
