ThatfishguY July 21, 2013 Share July 21, 2013 Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself on here as I just met quite a few of you guys at the frag fest! (Which was awesome btw).. My name is John and although I have been in the aquarium world for a long time in mostly african cichlids (still have my cichlid show tank) I am still quite new the the reef world.. With so much info to take in, I am so eager to learn from everybody here on becoming a successful reefer! Look forward to meeting more faces and happy reefing everybody!

YHSublime July 26, 2013 Share July 26, 2013 My tank Skip the 40 and just go as big as you possibly can right now. That is my friendly advice to you from a guy who started with a 14gallon in Nov 12'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind July 26, 2013 Share July 26, 2013 I have to agree with going bigger. You would over load that 40g in one or two club meeting. I think a 120g is the best size tank before they really get big and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatfishguY July 26, 2013 Author Share July 26, 2013 I def agree with everybody on going bigger, only problem is I only have the space for a 40g :/ sucks I know but this is what I will be working with or else I would def have a 125 or higher.. my question is for everyone's opinion.. What would you say the most expensive purchase I will make in setting this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you say the most expensive purchase I will make in setting this up? Most expensive.....lighting or a skimmer....both that are really good are expensive...I buy over rated fixtures so I can use them when I upgrade...like my skimmer I bought, from a fellow reefer, is rated for 100g and I currently only run a 50g.... I will also so either build your own stand, especially for a tank this small...but when you get larger just have a square tube metal stand built and skin it yourself....save lots of money and headaches that way...
