Hey Brandon! Thanks for the great deal. We'll be heading down this evening to get some of that from you... For anyone else, we are in the Oregon City/Portland area and will be going down tonight to bring some rock back up with us. If you want us to get yours, just let us know!

I am in need of live rock sent you a pm

Thanks for all of the advice thus far! It's definitely helpful. We know that despite the cost it's something that we're really excited about doing, so I guess it's a good thing that we need to start slower. We've posted our freshwater tanks up on craigslist and will hopefully have some starter income soon. After we get that, I'm more than happy to take a couple of you shopping with me. heh

I am prepared to take my time I want to go slow I cannot afford much at a time. I have 1 Magnum 350 filter and another canister about 2 times bigger, 2 48 inch florescent lights with coralife bulbs in them the 95 glass tank with stand 300 watt heater and a dual wheel bio wheel on the end of the magnum. So I guess I need salt, live sand, live rock, and a damsel or 2 to get it going. do I have to have other equipment first to get the tank started? I went to a LFS and they told me I need the water they have for sale and not to use tap water. is that true? I would love to just get the tank filled so it is not just sitting empty.

My wife and I would like to end up with a reef tank with fish.

Hi I have been in freshwater for about 5 years. I currently have 3 tanks running a 65gal 35gal and a 20gal. I had a 95gal running and finally transfered the fish to the 65 and 35 now I want to start a saltwater in the 95. I am thinking of selling or trading my freshwater tanks off and concentrating on salt. what equipment do I "need" or "have" to have to get started. Are there problems with using treated tap water in a salt setup. I unfortunately got laid off so if anyone has some used stuff to help me get started that would be great. Thanks for any advise or help Tom
