Need advise for a new 60g mariane tank

[MartinD]

I am new for a marian tank. I bought this 60g tank and want to buid it from scratch. Please provide any helps for setting it up. What kind of equipemnt I should buy? and how to start. I don't need to setup coral first, maybe later in 1 year.

Thanks.

First I would buy equipment that is both reliable and known to work well at the price point (IE: Reef Octopus, Fluval, Hydor, etc.). I like to use dry rock when setting up new tanks since they have no risk of carrying potential negative hitchhikers, having a large buildup of detritus, along with it is also cheaper and usually man made. I wouldn't go with a DBS until you have advanced in the hobby and always, always, always look up something before you buy it. Since you're going to be going with a reef later on down the road, I would avoid getting any non reef safe fish to avoid the trouble.
