    new to the hobby sw fish

    I am really excited that I received a 55 gallon sw tank for x-mas. The problem I have now is setting everythin up. They sold my husband it seems like 10 different pumps and filters. Any advice. He said the store gave him a quick overview but we are still lost. Excited to get started.
