I Need advice with a new tank...

[falsechoes]

I'm totally new to the saltwater world... I'm wanting to get a 55 gal tank to start. I have no idea what to buy or what I need, can someone mentor me on this?

If the pocket can afford it go bigger to a 75 or 90.....Aquascaping will be a little easier in that size due to the 55's being narrow

Water parameters are also easier to maintain in a bigger tank

if you are going with a 55 gal you should get a aqueclear 70 power head a aqueclear 110 filter 200 watt heater make sure you use CaribSea Aragonite for your Substrate or you will have problems down the road and about 50lbs of live rock will do it
