Hey folks,
I've been browsing through some of these threads and other sites online. Haven't done fish before, but I think I'm going to try dive straight into a SW tank. My current plan is for a ~30 gallon FOWLR tank and then upgrading to something larger if/when I get hooked.
I was just planning on getting a lot of the starter material (live sand, LR, bottom feeders, etc) from somewhere like TBS.
But in the meantime, I'm trying to sort through the equipment I'll need to start, especially for the tank.
Is there any suggestions on:
- glass vs acrylic tank
- place to get a tank
- getting all the equipment from one place in a package or picking/choosing from various places
I'm anxiously waiting for my "New Marine Aquarium" book to arrive, but if you have any other thoughts/tips (e.g whether it's suicide to jump straight into SW), I would be happy to hear them!
Thanks!!!
