Whoa, definitely start into something other than that. High priced, and as an example they have like 10 fish in it? Lmao.

But anyways, good luck, saltwater is the best part of this hobby! IMO at least

 

[wendywc]

haha, I hear ya. It just piqued my interest. Anyway, I'm sure to setup the 55 gallon I have next anyway.

WOW thats an expensive tank. Sorry maidenfan, I'm used to seeing tanks for way cheaper around here .

Welcome to the salty side of life wendy . Check your wallet at the door and get ready for lifetime dialysis cause your kidneys are now spoken for Have fun reading the stickies and may I suggest reading some journals and looking at th emembers tanks threads. And feel free to ask questions when you get confused

Is it really that expensive?? I mean by the time you have bought the following on a build your own solution, the money is really starting to stack up anyway.

You have to remember that it not only includes the following, but delivers it to you in one neat and tidy solution with everything totally integrated. Its a tank for the lazy.. ooh thats me.. one day.. bit of saving first. Just add up what you have spent on you own setups...! still sound that expensive?

They had an empty one of these at my local LFS... anyone seen one of these in action yet.. (its been a while since this was posted about)..

I was reading the manual here and it looked quite helpful to somebody that knows nothing http/www.charterhouse-aquatics.co.uk/cat...and-p-1049.html

Hey you guys in the UK get better live rock! When I see your tanks it's all purple and colorfuls and full of cool looking rock but at my lfs we just have drab ol' chunks that look like they came from a monkey's butt!
