The big question is this site legit. From what I have been seeing on other sites it almost looks too good to be true. If it is a legit site then I'm glad I didn't buy lighting yet. Anyone ever do any dealings with these guys?

OK this is going to sound like a really stupid question but where do you get the "mud" from? Are we talking about the same kind of wet dirt I can find in my backyard (obivously I wouldn't use that) ? Also I just started reading the new marine aquarium and hopefully this will add to my...

OK now I have a bunch more questions. Yeh Navarre I probably wouldn't be satistfied with only 70% of the corals....actually I know I would be. So looking at some of the lighting fixtures on Liveaquaria.com I found some that would suit me I think. My biggest question is how many watts do they...

The extras I was refering to were things like the ozone makers and the MH lights. I would love to have these and I would love to have a full blown reef tank but at the moment I just can't afford the extra grand or more its gonna cost me to get these so I would assume I will have to settle for...

ok guys some of the things you guys are suggesting are going to put me way over budget so I can do one of 3 things: 1. Wait until I can save enough to get all the "extras" that will make life easy. Doing this I might never see it getting done as I'm sure I would always want something more. 2...

I do believe I mistated some things when I said overflow I meant this: Tidepool Which was incorrect as I assume this would be my overflow: megaflow overflow kit First of all I was under the impression that the tidepool was a filter sump all in one although I could be wrong. I have no...

OK I get the whole thing about not needing any extra filtration except for the extra LR. My question now is how big of a sump would I need min. I assume I could go bigger if I wanted but just would like to know the min and then go from there. Also could the canister filter with the floss be...

Thanks for the reply... What I have listed was the same system that they have in the retail shop at Fosters & Smith so I was just going by what they said as I was looking at about the same size and such. That was just their opinion of what I needed and I came here because I wanted to get as...

There is no sump or refugium as I was told I really didn't have to have one as everything can be hooked up to the overflow box or stored inside of it. As for my daughter I don't think she would touch anything other then maybe going underneath and playing around in there. The large angels would...

Well after about 3 months of researching reading on here and bugging my lfs, which happens to be petco, I think that I am finally ready to start preparing my first aquarium. Now I really don't have any backround in fish as this will be my first one. Basically I don't want to go with a...
