Post Newbie sw tank

This is going to be my first sw tank. I have and 20 somthing gallon eclips that I got from my dads friend. I'm would love to do a reef tank but that requires way to much cash. Most likely I will do a fish only tank. But I dont know. Give me any web sites for setup and begining tanks and all the info you have.

Post 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!
