    Connecticut. where i live doesnt exist on a map...
    so, i have a 40g breeder tank. just started up
    but im highly considering going bigger
    or into the frag doing buisness. probably end up doing both
    which first
    what tanks, what lighting, what corals, and general suggestions.
    i am a newbie to this whole thing
    but hey. im 15 and i have my whole life to make more money, and my parents know im devoted to this and will pay for ALMOST anything...

    anyone have anything for cheap, such as a protein skimmer or whatever
    both for a larger tank
    and my 40g
    because currently im just using a bucket filter... made for a 30g tank
    but hey it works well enough for now.


    thanks a ton!

    Kind of an open ended question and not sure if it fits in the lighting forum but you are young and eager to learn so I will let you slide. ;)

    Not sure exactly what you want to hear? You want suggestions on what to buy? Biggest tank you can, unless you are talking the frag tank in which a 30/40 breeder is great. Best lighting you can, T5 works fantastic on the breeder tanks... Skimmer, well best you can afford, ASM makes some decent affordable ones, Coralvues Octopus series, esp the extreme series are great and affordable... Are you planning on plumbing the tanks together?
    As far as what corals you want to prop? Whatever you like....
