I think it's time to finally go saltwater. I've been keeping freshwater all my life and I still will. But I think it's time to do one saltwater tank, the only thing I have to worry about is my budget. I have a very limited income and do not want to pay over $700. I will be a beginner to Saltwater.
The size tank I've chosen is 40 Gallon Breeder. I'm going to do just Fish Only With Live Rock. Going to buy live sand and live rock to sped up the cycle.Or should I do dead rock and dead sand? How do I seed the rock and sand if it is not live?
Should I buy already mixed saltwater from lfs or do it myself? With already mixed saltwater, how long before I can add fish?
So with LIVE Rock LIVE Sand, a good quality HOB filter, heater, protien skimmer,light, and hydrometer, how much would I be looking at for a 40 gallon breeder salt?
My stock I've planned will be a pair of some sort of clown (maybe maroon or snowflake), yellow watchman goby, blenny, some sort of shrimp and inverts and maybe a flame or bicolor angel.
Any help would be greatly appericated. I'm gonna buy the 40 gallon breeder at the next ***** 1 dollar per gallon sale.
