    Yeah i've noticed that as a get more and more into this saltwater experience. i want to rush to my 75 but i have some work to do. i want to reinforce the stand and also built some sort of a shelf to house the sump.
    Should i purchase a 10 gallon or built it i was looking at some tuts on that.

    what you about these lights.
    Current USA Nova Extreme 2 Bulb T5 HO 10K/460nm Marine

    I've noticed that with the hermits. I've tried the magnet with fresh water just doesnt work good. so i got see why it would work for saltwater. guess im just going to have to suck it up, be a man and just get the snails.

    Thanks guys i'm feel so welcomed here. i cant wait to start contributing back once i gain some more knowledge.

    Whats up!

    Welcome, I'm new to this site myself, but been in SW for awhile. It looks decent, these other guys gave you great advice. Depending on what coral you want in there will determine what lighting you need. T5's are great, especially from Arcadia; I got a few reflector and bulbs you can buy. All brand new of course. If you need othe equipment, let me know. Ill see what i got. I have a lot of stuff, because I was a major reef freak.
