All right, Heres my questions.I want to set up a reef tank,This will be my first fish tank, what would you suggest for a begginer set up. I've looked at the all in one systems, but was told I would grow out of one of those to quick. Then I looked at 55 gallon predrilled units with a sump, but was told it would be better to get 75 gallon because its wider and not a whole lot more, All of those statements are from my local shop, it is a dedicated fish store.I know bigger is supposedly easier to take care of but is a smaller one impossible for a begginer? But the bigger I go the more live rock and everything I need. So heres what I want, I want to be able to have corals hard and soft, enjoy my fish, I don't have to have a whole school maybe some clown fish, coral beauty, blenies, cleaner shrimp,and of course corals and clams would be great ,A nice looking small reef. And not fall flat on my face or go broke trying to set all this up. I would love to keep everything under a 1000 but I'm not sure if that is a realistic idea.I do like the idea of a sump if I don't get a all in one system. So what are some good brands to look at for protien skimmers, filters, sumps, power heads, heaters, and T-5 lights. I don't mind going bigger I have the room, 75 gal is Max. I know things might not go perfect, but I've been wanting to do this ever since I started scuba diving, and even more since I don't get to see this eveyday, now that I live in Virginia, I use to live in Guam and Hawaii.Are the all is one systems all that bad?And if not what are the best brands. Well I know I put alot out here but it seems like the more I read and talk to people the more confused I get. So any info would be great. Also some good online stores, or should I stick with my local shop? Thank you
