My wife and i both have had many aquariums from a fish bowl up to 55 gallon freashwater tank. we've both always wanted a saltwater tank and we just happened to get a free 55 gallon aquarium.
i know we'll have to clean it out with water a vinegar.
we are both pretty novice at saltwater though.
i know we'll need a protien skimmer and powerheads for the water flow. do we need a refugium and or a sump. how does all of that work. we're going to the LFS tonight or tomorrow to look at some things there and talk to them.
My very tentative plan is to get "the Package" from Live Rock - Tampa Bay Saltwater Aquacultured Live Rock does anyone have experiance with them?
and does anyone have recommendations for equipment. protien skimmer, powerheads(size and number), Sump and or refugium(do we need one and how big)?
thanks alot to everyone.
