Re: getting started?

well first things first.


nice to have you join the party

on the equipment lets start with what you want. do you have an idea on what size tank? this matters to what skimmer and lighting you might want. i suggest you get a 100gal with a built in overflow and sump. ASM G-3 skimmer would be my suggestion for that type set up. then you need to decide on what you want to keep. anemones need good lighting and some moderate flow. the issue with anemones is they dont stay in one spot. as they roam they sting whatever gets in there way damaging corals and could kill them, this limits some of your choices pn corals, as some are just to sensitive to be housed with anemones. i would suggest you find a couple corals that you must have then we can start to look at lighting and flow needs, basically look sticking to the type corals like LPS, SPS, softies or polyps. i know not much help yet but after you decide on a couple things you will get better suggestions related to your tanks needs.
