USMC1812 June 18, 2023 Share June 18, 2023 Hello everyone, my family and I recently became interested in this hobby, and have decided to start our first saltwater tank. Any advice is highly appreciated. Also, if anyone has a 90 or 120 gallon tank with the equipment that they’d like to sell, please let me know! Thank you all in advance!

therootcause June 18, 2023 Share June 18, 2023 (edited) Welcome - what about the hobby peaks your interest? Is it the bight colored fish? SPS branching corals? Your goals will influence what equipment you need. Are you looking for an all in one system like this Waterbox AIO or something with a sump like this aquarium? Waterbox with sump.

USMC1812 June 18, 2023 Author Share June 18, 2023 @therootcause Honestly, I took my kids to a carnival, where they won two gold fish. Unfortunately, the goldfish died, and when I went to the pet store, I was educated on the extensive care that both, saltwater and freshwater fish require. I decided this would be a good hobby to bond with my kids, teach them respect for wildlife, and enjoy the beautiful varieties of saltwater fish.

cpeguero June 18, 2023 Share June 18, 2023 Once you figure out what sort of tank you want, if whatever you get doesn’t come with rock or sand, let me know. I’ve have plenty of each you can have for cheap. I’m in Herndon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
