Octa-Tank

Definitely check out getting a 40 or 55 like you said. If you just keep an eye on craigslist, you never know what will pop up on there. I got my 40 with a canister filter, skimmer, stand.. Basically everything I needed aside from lights and rocks and all that.

 

As for what you said Fishyfinder...I would go with a 40breeder over a 55g reef any day. 55g is tall and very long compared to width. You should have a much better time aaquascalibg the 40B.

 

thanks everybody. I will keep on the craigslist prowl. ha I can't wait to start this. Yeah, this going to be a reef. I want fish that are always out free swimming. The more time I watch Chromis the less I like them. I am thinking two maybe three wrasse and some type of clown. I also want to get a mandarin (my favorite fish) at some point. I have a 75 gallon already just sitting empty, but my dad wants to use it for his cichlids. I gave it to him, so my dwarf lion tank is no longer going to happen.
