    That is where the fun starts lol. What are you thinking about? Only 20 gallons kind of limits your options though.

    yeah, I had that problem with settling too. The key is internet search live aquaria, happy corals etc and really get an idea on what ya want, also salt critters.com, then consolidate what ya want in a few shipments to save ya some cash. If ya do it right, its actually cheaper than going to a LFS, ya just have to buy in bulk.
