Re: Newbie sw tank Well I have to small saltwaters, they really arn't that difficult. Well IMO crushed coral is the best substrate. BakPak's are great little skimmers, you can use just the general power or canister filter. Maybe get a few pieces of live rock, or some fake coral at the LPS. Some great fish to start out with are damselfish and clowns, they are cheap(under $10) and are very hardy. I used cycle when I setup my tanks, cycled just like a freshwater. CoralLife makes a good salt too. Hope this rambling mess helps a little!
