Love the Forum so much great reading!
The story goes family visits LPS, days go buy, dad lets get a fish tank, please dad can we have an aquarium? You know the deal.
So the IRS sends a nice direct deposit to bank and dad who was totlay taken buy the live corals says ok we can get a fish tank but only if we can have the salt water one to hold corals.
So on 3/13 family goes back to LFS to see what they recommend. We say we want some pretty corals, clown fish, and other small fish. OK a 40 gallon should do just fine.
Yesterday We picked up an API Salt Water Test kit at Petco the #are
Well thats it we love the tank, from reading on here not the ideal setup so please advise best route to take from here.
