First Salt Tank

[hbalagh]

I just bought a 80 gallon tank last night (pics shown here)
This is my first salt water tank it's been my dream to own one. And when I bought one I always said I would have a lion fish in it. Now my question is what fish work well with a lion fish. I'm open to just about anything.
Thanks

Ok, looking at your other thread. I just noticed you only have a HOB(hang on back) filter. I think you should invest in a sump and skimmer. It might be expensive now but is worth it in the long run.
Also has your tank cycled yet, or are you waiting for it to?

yes im going to let it cycle i have a protein skimmer or at least that is what she said it was

A sump would be a big help!

 

[hbalagh]

yea that is what i have read, unfortunately i was barely able to afford this lol. But i think i got a great price on it as a package deal

Do you have powerheads? What kind of skimmer?
