Reefing newb
hello everyone, I am just starting out in the reefing hobby aka salt water fish tank and require some helpful advice from the internet world. I am from Canada and I have reached a tentative deal with a LFS regarding the following set up;

Red Sea Max 130d brand new with stand + the following items
40 lbs of sand/coral base
salt
30 pounds of live rock (Fiji)
an instrument to measure water levels (chems)
delivery and set up

Canadian price 1300.00 Taxes included

What do you think of this choice for a starter aquarium and price of the tank? Is it a good set up and what else should I be considering?

Thanks alot everyone and I appreciate any advices and help you can provide me with.
 
Hello and welcome!

I think that is a pretty good price if they are giving you good testing supplies and sand (dont use crushed coral!)

I know its a lot of reading, but the more research you do the better off you will be. This is a costly hobby to make mistakes in.
