starting a reef tank

No didn't finish. I had did a quick reply and noticed I needed to ad some pictures. So I posted then edited my post.


This is my 220 and yes you are also crazy to start a Saltwater tank. You have to be. lol

 

Yes I have a little of everything in this tank. I went from 29gal to 40breeder/75gal then to current 220gal. You want to start by getting good live rock and seeding the tank. Get some starter like damsels or something hardy like them.

Corals you want to wait on for a few months until your tank is stable and ready for corals to do well. When ready you start with hardy corals like Mushrooms,zoas,leathers and stuff. Then when you have them living well then you move on. Take things slow and don't rush anything. It will move forward and so will you if you are patient.

Also spend the $20 bucks for a club membership and got to know your local club members and attend some meetings for this club. You also get good discounts from select fish stores.

How much do u want to spend on a light?

 

I know ive considered the evergrow full spectrum 120 watt...alot of positive feedback on them. One on a 40 breeder would be good probly. They have them on ebay for $120-150 price range.
