Heres where I need your help. I want to start a saltwater tank (anything from 5-15 gal) for as cheap as possible. What do I need to make this happen...... anywhere in particular that i should buy the supplies? Would I be able to get away with buying like an eclipse system and then adding live rock and live sand to let it cycle??? I will have access to a local saltwater shop if need be. any ideas, any help??? Also forgot to mention...... It doesnt have to be anything fancy at all, just a small tank with one or two fish(any specific kinds of fish that you would reccommend that are hardy and fun to watch) and some live rock/sand. i just need to know what i should aquire to get myself on teh right track...... aka what should i all get
