Those fish are cool looking, I might need to add one or two of those down the line. I told my girlfriend we are getting clownfish to start with, and she had a blank stare like WTF are clownfish, but once I told her its the nemo fish, she got excited haha. So a pair of clownfish after the cycle...

It could be that, or it could just be my work computer, it has so many firewalls I can't do alot online.

I will start with two Koralia 2's and see if that is enough flow.

The search function does not work for me, it just gives me a blank page.

My bad, links removed, just posted for comparision.

I was thinking of using the ***** water for tops off then. I will check my LFS for water, can I use distilled from walmart? Its only like 59cents a gallon.

Would a Hydor Koralia 3 (850gph) be enough flow for a 55g tank? That is 15x flow rate.

They both cost around $110, which one would be the best buy? Links Removed, Sorry!

I was looking around online, and I saw that ***** sells ocean water, its $16 per 10 gallons, is that a good price? Or should I just buy gallons of distilled water from the grocery store at 59 cents a gallon? 55gallon cost: ***** Cost - $97 Distilled Cost - $32 + Cost of Salt?

Clowns can switch to male or female? Weird, I guess I just don't know much about fish haha. I am going to be using a 50/50 bulb, and a 10k or 20k bulb, around 125-175 watts total. Is that enough to support some corals or mushrooms? I would like a bright colorful tank.

So should I use one male and one female? I was suprised to see they are only around $15 at most LFS so I can easily afford a pair, rather than just one.

I am starting a 55g fish only setup here in the next few weeks. I am not going to be using a sump at this time, I might add one down the road. I do have an extra 10g tank sitting here in my room, can I use it for anything? Do I need a quarantine tank? Or should I save it for when I do end up...

Thanks, I think I will start with a clown fish, should I get a male or female or does it not matter? I might want to get a pair to mate eventually, not sure yet though. Should I be buying any sort of inverts? The LFS reccomended a clam every 2 weeks after I cycle to feed the inverts, but do I...

Don't clowns need coral or something to live in? I am doing a FOWLR setup, no corals yet, brand new setup.

What are the best fish to start with in a FOWLR tank? Also, you can only add 1 every 4-6 weeks, is that correct? I am looking for something with personality and colorful, and won't cost me $100, thanks!

I can wait to buy the skimmer until after the cycle right? This gives me more money now for live rock, since I don't need to buy everything with this paycheck. I plan to get $150-$200 worth of LR so hopefully my LFS has some deals.
