Thats about the kind of response I would expect from trigahappy(he keeps an undulate and niger in a 55).
If you're looking to start a new tank, you'd probably be better off posting your question in equipment and setup rather than in the aggressive section. I can give you some advice though since I have a 20 high. I would get a mid-level filter such as an emperor or maybe a fluval. I would buy a 20lb. bag of live sand as substrate and probably 10-20 lbs. of live rock or base rock...whichever you can afford. As for lighting, it depends on whether you want to have a fish only tank or a reef tank. I would recommend fish only if this is your first time. In the fish only case, you will just need a regular florescent strip and hood that fits your aquarium. Once you get it setup and the salinity right, let it set for a few days and then add some damsels. From there, you'll have to ask some more questions.
