Thanks! I'm looking at the fish on this site for photos and care levels, etc., to get an idea of what I like, so then I can use those books and the wonderful LFS lady. I'm realizing that I am very lucky to have a good LFS to use and someone who is willing to teach me. She said if there is...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/189...501655-4549716 I am looking forward to it arriving tomorrow! Thought I would post the link for anyone else looking for it - there are good reviews on the site. :cheer: It's The New Marine Aquarium: Step-By-Step Setup & Stocking Guide by Michael S Paletta.

We have 2 LFS in town, both in the same chain. I can't wait to buy my fish at the 1st one (where I got the tank, etc. on lay a way now), but the other I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, and probably will never go in again. It made me want to cry with the overcrowded, dirty tanks. The better...

I live in Ohio, and not sure if we can post names of stores here or not, but if you wind up wanting to know where I got this, I'll email it if you ask. The $250 doesn't include tax, but the whole shebang (minus fish, of course) is $543 with tax, which I figured wasn't bad considering I got the...

I'm so sorry! That sucks. I have no idea what the answer is, although it would seem kind of obvious to me, unless it's a real fluke that it all happened at the same time.

I forgot to mention, I got the tank, stand and hood for $250 - about half price at a chain in the area who is disconinuing the "maple" finish. Have you purchased your tank yet???

Thanks! I was starting to wonder if 46 gal was enough... and I love the idea of getting sea horses someday. Here's a link to another post about them in case you are interested... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/240388/basic-seahorse-questions

Ok, thanks ryanhayes... when starting a new tank (like me) do you put the fish in together and then get a quarantine tank only when your big one is established? I have so much to learn!

I don't have my tank even at home yet... we haven't picked it up, but I've been told approx 2" of fish per gallon, however I have not done enough research to know if that's the prevailing suggestion or not. I'll be watching this post to see what other say since I'm working w/the same size (or...

Is a quarantine tank just one that has the same water as your regular tank & set up in an emergency in case you need to separate a little bugger?? Just curious. Never heard of it (in my whopping 1 week of experience of looking at fish tanks).

I am so excited! :jumping: I decided that I wanted to do saltwater vs. tropical, and have been going through each fish on this site, adding some to my favorites so I can narrow down who I want to inhabit my tank... and so that I don't lose a bunch of money on fish that get eaten by others. I...
