Wanting to buy a setup

[xotedox]

I am looking at getting a 20 gallon long tank and putting coral. LOL I dont want fish in it at all. I love the way the coral looks. I have read that metal Halide is the best light to use. Can someone tell me where I could get a letting system for this tank please. That would be awesome. And since I am not going to have any fish just LR and Coral can i just get a cheap filter system since there isnt going to be any nitrate or nitrites? Please help me out with some sites or something i can order the hood and light from.
Thanks so much everyone,
Ted

i was told that some corals need to have fish in the tank

There will be some trites and trates since you have to feed the corals. If you feed plankton it still gets in the water and will have to cycle.

I have never heard of this before. But hey, everyone likes different things...

I would put in some cleaning crew though, crabs, snails, shrimp. I would also recommend that you do have a filteration system of some kind too keep everything well in check.
Sorry I cannot help you with the lights, I am no expert there. But you should get more replies.

Just search for "metal halide x." With x being the width of your tank. Try an auction site maybe?

I forgot to mention, you'll also more than likely need a fan or two to keep the heat at a minimum. Don't skimp on the filter either, most corals tend to like pristine water. Also, we can't give you addresses to other sites on this board...just so ya know.
