whoops, let me try that again. the saltwater tanks and the reptiles

Okay, now I cannot completly agree with Carshark or most of the people here, Igunas are really cool, they are by no means messy and my Iguana won't quit moving around, it never sits still. Igaunas don't grow fast, at full size they are from head to tail tip about 5-6 feet long, but it takes them...

I have been asking everyone's help and you all have given me a lot of good information. Well, here are the tanks I will be using, they are not set up for anything yet, but here they are. The top is a 29 gallon and the bottom is a 20 gallon. Here are some other pics, I am new to saltwater fish...

Thanks for all the information, I have been really busy lately, but all your info has been very helpful. I think I will hold off and only get a few at first, get the whole saltwater thing down be fore I expand. I do plan on getting a much much much larger setup, I would just like to start out...

Thanks everyone, does anyone have recommendations on a specific order the fish I plan to get should be added? Also when are you supposed to add your clean up crew?

Thank you so much, your information has been a major help. And you guys think these will all comfortably fit in a 29 gallon tank?

If this is the list of coral I plan on getting what order would you recommend putting them in? Colt Stubby Finger Leather Toadstool Leather Green Closed Brain Blue Stripe Mushroom Orange Ricordea Mushroom Polyp Green Plate Candy Frogspawn

I'm thinking the same thing now. Thanks eveyone you all have been a great help.

Thanks a lot bang and fishie, I will definitly be getting a frogspawn. Once my tank is setup and running can I add all the coral at once or should I put them in periodiclly?

What method do people use to prvent that problem? If you couldn;t tell I am really set of getting a nudi and will set my tank up as necessary to maintain one. Any advice if I were to get a Blue Velvet?

I read that putting eggcrate over the top of the tank works, is that the best thing or does anyone recommend anything else?

Thanks a lot fishieness, I think I will hold off on the anemone. I would really rather have a frogspawn coral, but I have heard they are very difficult to take care of. Any recommendations/suggestions on what is required for a Frogspawn.

Thanks, I really want the Blenny and it will be staying regardless, but I guess could part with the Dottyback. Would you all recommend a couple Firefish Gobies or a couple Blue Reef Chromis?

I went to saltaquarium.about.com and they have an entire section the essential equipment you will need, it was extremly helpful. Read as much as you can here on the boards also (try doing a search for the word 'new').

I plan on setting up my first saltwater aquarium once I figure out everything I plan on getting so I know what will be ahead. Now I have made a list of the fish I would like to get, but I have heard some people say that it might be overcrowded. So I am starting a new thread to get peoples...

Thank you Teresa, so Clowns will stay in a coral if there is no anemone? If this is true does anyone know if an Anemone Shrimp would do the same?

Thanks Bobo. I have actually been doing quite a bit of research and I plan on building my own overflow, having it run into a protien skimmer, then into the 20 gallon tank, then back up into the main tank. If anyone has suggestions on a good protien skimmer for this (it would have to be a skimmer...

One more thing, I was also wondering about putting in a couple of anemones for the Clowns and possibly getting an Anemone Shrimp. I really liked the Pink Tip Haitian Anemone and the Florida Condi Anemone. Does anyone have any advice on keeping these, I think the Clowns and Shrimp would like it...

Thanks for all the information everyone, it has been extremely helpful. As far as the lighting I plan on getting Aqualight Double Strip Light w/ 65 watt Actinic & 65 watt 10000K Bulbs. Is that going to be a good light for what I want for my tank? When you "nudi-proof", would using eggcrate on...

Well, I really like the Blue Velvet, but it said that it was very difficult to take care of and I would like to get a little bit of experience under my belt before I try something like that.
