55 gallon salt

Yea I'm at about 40x in my 29g, keeping softies and lps now. Kinda nervous about making the jump to sps and dosing. 25x was just a ballpark number I've seen thrown around a lot...

SPS arent really that bad. Got them in my nano and I dont run a skimmer. Pay the extra and go with ORA or another aquacultured SPS and you will have better luck keeping them alive.

Tip number 1: get the biggest skimmer you can fit into your sump.

Why?

Just for kicks.

Thanks for all the info guys, this has really helped alot. My buddy Is getting his internet up and running hopefully today and then he will move into this forum and start asking some more questions im sure.

We went and picked up a stand off of craigslist this weekend. It is very nice and very tall! and we picked up a 30 gallon from tim for the sump(thanks again). Next I think he is going to purchase a protein skimmer or lights. We also went and looked around fish-r-us at coral and rock and what not. they still have that 700 gallon sitting there. Somebody should pick this thing up, that is if they can talk the owner down from 4200!!!!!!
