I am not sure yet....just answering the financial questions so far...

I havent seen anyone with this tank and the price is crazy low, can it be used for saltwater/reef? Link Not Allowed Also, the normal 12/24 Gallon Nano's, what else would the buyer need to house a reef? I am checking out one right now, just a protein skimmer and heater?

Heh, I was just saying! I get your point about the space though

I just dont get how the gallon # is made....my aparment is about the size of a half gallon comparared to my size and i am happy in it!

I am going to Costa Rica in about a month and will be doing some snorkling.... If I were to find some live rock that I liked would it be worth it to try and transport it back to the states? I'm not sure what kind of work goes into something like that, if anyone else does please share your knowledge.

Ok, this is shaping up good, my equipment list covers what I would NEED to get a reef going? Is there anything else I should consider?

If its that much extra, I'd probably be better of getting a filter then.

I just read that a filter isnt needed in reef tanks when you have a clean up crew and a protein skimmer? Is this true?

Alright, I think I have compiled all of the information from the threads/websites you guys have listed and here it is: Equipment 1. Tank 2. Pumps to get to and back to the sump 3. Power Head Maxi-Jet is a reliable brand, try to get 20x water rate 4. Heater 5. Filter Need more info on 6. Protien...

alright, thanks guys....i am kind of mainly looking for items i need to purchase first, so i can start saving and/or purchasing when i have some spare cash, after all, I am just a poor student!

Is there any site or thread that tells exactly what is needed to get a reef tank started? I am having trouble compiling the loads of information around here and its giving me a brain overload. I've had my 12G Nano for almost 2 months and would like to get into the reef hobby also! Thanks for any...

Almost, they are a really light greenish yellow.

I have a bursa trigger and he has developed light spots on his coating over night. I haven't had any problems with him previously. Here are my water stats Nitrite: 0 PH: 8.0-8.1 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: .15 - Haven't been able to get to 0 yet I have been told AFTER THE FACT that the bursa should not...

Awesome to see another 311 fan! Good luck with the tank!

it "bumps" the topic to the top of the list so more people will see it its kind of like cheating!

Well its not like he is just running his body down the rock, which I would call scratching, but he is rather "flipping" his body against it pretty forcefully. I read that the bursa likes to rearrange his environment, and I wonder if this is what he's trying to do?

Thats what I keep hearing about the trigger, I am debating whether or not to sell him back to the fish store. The puffer is doing very well, its a leapord puffer and hes about an inch long. I am not sure as to what kind of corals, I need to do some more research. I should have done some before...

Originally posted by SWNewb You can say that again. Triggers get large and can be aggressive. They will eat basicly anything they can fit in thier mouth, and if it doesn't fit, they will rip it apart until it is in small enough pieces to. What kind of trigger is it? Its a bursa trigger. He...

I already scrubbed it, doh! My main source of info is my LPS owner, and he told me that I shouldnt put anything else live in my tank since I already have a trigger and a puffer, not even a snail! I actually went up there to get a snail and he gave me the mag-float instead.... I'm in the research...
