G'day Mate,

Well sounds like you have alot to ask...Your best bet would be to do searches on each question you have.

Eg what lights you want?

Water types?

Fish types and things like this.

Lots and lots of info on here! it's a wonderfull site for help.

As for cost...this will come down to how wild you want it but also don't be fooled even Nano tank's are a costly excersise!

You said marine, do you mean fish and corals, or just fish? If its just fish with live rock, then it is questionable whether or not you would want a protein skimmer. Some say yes, but it isnt completely necessary.

You would need

tank
stand
canister filter
heater
fluorescent lighting, maybe actinic also, your choice
LR
aragonite and live sand

The cost would take a while to figure out...

well had my 55 gal tank now for about 3 months and has cost me well over £1300 already which includes tank, rock , power heads , skimmer , filter, lights, and some stock. even when u think u have finished it still costs loads in food for your coral,fish, test kits, water etc. so think before u buy.
