Decided on a tank.

I am going with a 100 gallon Clear-for-Life™ 60 x 18 x 20.
What is the next main piece??
I am a poor man and will buy it piece by piece.
Thanks,
Jeremy

A stand.

Then a quality protein skimmer would be the next most important purchase.

I am going to build my stand. I have, er um, I left two tanks(freshwater) in Texas at my parents house a 29 and a 110, I built both stands for those and they are still standing. That way I know they are strong enough.
Skimmer??
Is there a best??

Depends on who you ask... Do you think you'll get a sump or not?? I like the Remora Pro as far as hang on, but it seems comperable to the Bak Pak. And I think Euroreef is amung the favorites for in sump...

I have a Euro-Reef CS-1 in sump on my show tank and an Aqua-C Remora HOB for my QT. Both are excellent. My PERSONAL preference is the Euro-Reef. It seems to de-crud a little more than the QT. Again.....before I get

.....thats a PERSONAL preference.
p.s. with regards to the stand: LOTS of room inside!!!!!!!!
HTH

I dont't think I could build a stand that large and not have xtra room inside. LOL I am going to use 4x4 for the corners put a bottom in it and have doors on the front, my other two do not.
