This will be my first saltwater tank. It is going to be a 44 gallon corner tank with a 10 gallon for sump. If all goes will, I am going to do my 120 gallon in a few years. Right now it has 2 Oscars and a Severum in it. I figure I would start with the smaller tank and when the fish in the 120 die, I can do it. I hope you guys will help me out because I am going to have some questions. I already have a Lifereef overflow, 2 Koralia #2 power heads, a test kit and a OR 2500 return pump. I bought a refractometer that was listed in the group buy and a used ER cs 80 skimmer listed on RC. The last 2 should be here next week. The tank is plumbed but I need to had a ball valve on the return and do just a little more tweaking. I have it set in the garage for fresh water testing. I am pretty close to being ready to bring it in the house and start adding water. Not sure if I will buy a ro/di unit now or wait a little while. So, I may have to buy my water at the lfs for a little while. Still not sure on lighting. I am going to start out as a fowlr and add some zoas or something easy to take care of later on. I had thought about using one of the clamp on mh or maybe some kind of pendant light. I could use some input on lights. I am going to try and find my rock and maybe sand from someone selling out locally. That is about it for now. I will try to post some pictures when I get it moved into the house.
