Hey guys this is my first post and I really want to get the knowledge I need to make a successful saltwater aquarium.
Basically my sister in law is giving me her 40 gallon tank, and I'm thinking it doesn't come with anything but the glass tank. I'd like to know what I need to buy in order to get started. I'm thinking some colorful fish, live rock and sand, I'm not too sure about coral yet. Also I'd like to know if I'd need to buy a sump yet or if a hang on the back was appropriate for a 40 gallon. Eventually I'd like to have a lion fish and some triggers but of course with a bigger tank.
Just looking for some insight..
Thanks,
Tom
