I just want to hear from someone that has this size and has had lots of success with it. How are you going to choose the different items for it? I want to make sure I get the best of the best for the tank..

Oh please Bella,
I decided last spring to start a saltwater. I was first looking for a mere 55, but the space I have in my house only allowed for a 37gal, so that's what I got. So far, everything has been right on target and going very nicely...that's not to say without a bit of effort. The smaller the tank, the more maintenance you need to do, but that gets to be routine. Actually I've found that that maintenance is really very relaxing, and you find that your critters seem so appreciative...well, I really love taking care of my tank!!
Go with the size that you can handle and afford, money and space wise, and most of all, have fun with it!!
Dboy, Really, REALLY awesome tank...wish I could have one like that, but alas, I may have to go for multiple tanks instead...great job!!!
