I have just became the proud owner of a 120 gallon tank. I have decided that salt water is the way to go, lot of beautiful fish and coral made the choice easy. However employees at the local fish store are trying to discourage me from entering the salt water world. To hard, to risky for a newby, very expensive and so on. But I really would like to give it a go. I am hoping to find some help here to make the right decision. The only thing I have are the tank and the stand. The tank is not drilled and I don’t think I want a sump pump. I prefer the canister type filter. I have a real bad back and don’t want to have to do maintenance under the tank.
I would like some advice on filter, skimmer the hangs in the back and lighting. I am planning to add some coral at the beginning and the expend in a reef tank. Some fish will also be introduced to the tank. Also what else do I need to start beside the obvious water, rocks ( live or dry?)?
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
