Well, I have decided to convert my 10gal fresh, to salt. The only thing in there is an algae eater...He will find a new home in my 45gl fresh. Anyway, I know a good bit already, but, I just wanted a parts, and price list. This thing needs to be done with a ~$50 weekly budget lol (Lawn mowing ftw). I know I want to have a home to some softies (shrooms, rics, zoaz, bubble coral, etc.) And I want a goby, or blenny. To be honest, gobies are what took my thoughts of getting SW from 'hmmm.,..that's cool' to 'OMG YES! NOW!' That, and corals lol. Something about gobies, the way the hop about, sift the sand, and scutter arround your LR. SW's have so much life in them, even without any fish or coral. Which is why, from day 1, I have always wanted one (day 1 was like 3 years ago O.O )
So, I know I need about 15-20lbs of LR. and about 17lbs of LS (I will just get 20). But, I don't know what I need as far as how much GPH I need, lighting, etc. I read all those facts long ago, and forgot em. I know I want 14k lighting, I want color, and growth. I know this won't be cheap, and it will take me 2-4 weeks maybe for each part, but I'm ok with that (I have no choice anyway xD)
Sorry for the big wall of text...but I didn't really know where to start >.>
