Reefing newb
I'm glad that I found this forum...........tons of great information here. I am not new to the hobby, but I haven't been able to enjoy it for a long time. I have 2 little boys; 18 months and 2 1/2. I think this is a hobby that the whole family can enjoy. I live in Memphis, and there are a couple of quality marine/reef stores nearby. Years ago I maintained a 75g; I have been wanting to get back into the hobby for a long time.
I came across this deal, and my wife purchased it for me as a gift. The guy selling the setup is very trustworthy and very knowledgeable. My main question is what kind of potential I have with this setup. What would I need to add to make this a reef tank? I think it would be wise to keep the system as is until I feel more comfortable customizing it. I appreciate any thoughts and advice:
Thanks again!

I am picking it up tomorrow; hopefully the move will go smoothly.Tank comes complete with:
* 25 gallon tank + stand
* External filter - Aquarium Pharmaceuticals RENA Filstar XP 2 Canister Filter.
* UV sterilizer light – plumbed into external filter line.
* Water heater
* Underwater fan (for water circulation)
* 2 pieces of live rock
* Live sand as a base
* Sunken ship decorations
* Fish – 1x Yellow tail damsel, 1 x Zebra damsel, 2 x Clown fish.
* Invertebrates – a bunch of hermit crabs, 1x turbo snail (to eat algae on glass)
Tank also comes with:
* Large water containers to store prepared saltwater in
* Water testing strips
* Water conditioners
* Cleaning rod
* Tube to siphon water out
This tank is ready to go and will be a fantastic addition to any home. I have probably invested about $700 into the tank, and am selling it for $250 complete.
Thanks again!
