I read somewhere if you put the sand in before the rock you might have problems with it shifting later on and possibly injuring your fish or inverts. I'm probably worrying about this too much eh?

I'm going to pick up my live rock and sand today. Question i have is what order should I put them in the tank? I've seen all different ideas. I was hoping to have the water in the tank before I get the rock so I can put it right in when I get home. So basically is it ok to put the water in...

Ok well I don't know if am going to get into LPS at this time but I will probably add a K-1 if I get into that area. Thanks for all the help guys. You're making this a lot easier.

Its a tall. Ok I will order 1 nano for now and pick another if it looks like I need it.

Is that enough movement if I want to put some some corals in there?

Koralias seem to be the favorite around here. I plan to get 2 of them, the question is what size should I put in a 29g? Thanks guys!

Should I wait until I receive the filter before putting the rock and sand in the tank or is it ok for it so sit in there for a couple of days without the filter?

Ok guys. IThe Reefpack 200 and Lights are coming in the mail. Not sure when they will get here. Is it ok to go ahead and put the rock and sand in without the reefpack installed or should I wait until I get that?

I found a fish store about a half hour away that sells live rock for about $8.00 a pound. My question is do I have to cure it if I am buying it from a local place? Also if I do have to cure it I can do so in the new tank I bought right? Thanks guys. graham

Ok I picked up the tank and stand. Here is the future home of my happiness! What do you guys think of the stand? I got it for a pretty good price. It seems sturdy but I could see something going wrong someday. Just nervous I guess.

I'm sure that they actually did add everything all at once. It was supposed to go along with an article that I can't seem to find. I think they waited for a period of time before adding any living organisms to it. Well I'm off to get the tank and stand tonight! My wallet is trembling... :)

Sorry about that. I would like it to be a mini-reef. Not sure exactly what corals I want to get yet but that is what I am planning for. Someone mentioned getting T5's. Are those a special kind of light? How many would I need in a 29 gallon setup?

I just found a site that will ship a pound of Live Sand for free along with the Live Rock I order. Could I get away with buying regular sand and just adding this live sand to it? Thoughts?

So you're saying I could get away with 25lbs of Live Rock and mix it with some other material? What could I use with it? Just fake rocks that you see at the pet stores?

Sorry double post.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I did find a couple pet stores that carry some of the stuff I need. I watched the video below and I think I am gonna follow their lead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmjP_td2qCE Here is the list of supplies I am going to pick up. Let me know if you see...

Anyone have experience with these? They come in the perfect size I want and some reviews I have seen look promising. Kind of plug and play.

Hello all, I am really dying to set up a saltwater aquarium. I live in an apartment so it can't be too big. Maybe 30g or so. I had one about 8 years ago that I loved but unfortunately had to get rid of. I have read through a lot of the articles on this site detailing the different parts of...
