I'm just starting to get into the wonderful life of saltwater! I've had my tank set-up for about 3 months now, but I have a lot of questions reguarding it. It's 75 gallons with about 70 pounds of live rock. I have 2 Percula Clownfish, 4 Damsels and several snails and crabs. My water levels are all perfect right now and my tank is crystal clear!
Currently, I have an AquaClear 110 Filter running in it with an air stone wand and a heater. What other equipment do I need?
I'm new to this, so I'm not even sure what all is needed, or what to buy. It seems like every site tells you something completely differant. I'm on a little bit of a budget as well (wife is already starting to get a little angry, due to the initial start-up costs).
Any help yould be great!

Are air stones bad then? I don't have a skimmer right now, but I thought that air stones were always needed to create circulation and air.
Also, do I need power heads for circulation?

Definitely get some powerheads....Look into Koralias, for a 75G I would get at least 3, and at least K2's (that is my personal opinion cause I like to put them in different areas w/o sand storms)
also the air stone is not for sw tanks
and start shopping for a GOOD skimmer....
