Good Tank? Also Posted In Newbie Section

[wizard]

Hi everyone!

I just joined a few minuets ago!
Right now I have 0 tanks and 0 fish, but I am very interested in getting a tank and starting!
Could someone please give me advice on this tank:

Does it have all the main things (pumps, filters, etc.) I would need (minus the fish)??? Is it worth that price? If so, what would you value the tank at?
Thanks

Hello and welcome to TFF

Unfortunately, I am unable to answer your query as i am in the UK but i'm sure someone will be along shortly.

Any other questions you may have, don't hesitate to ask as these guys are the bee's knees

The price is decent - but it's for a saltwater tank. I've been fishkeeping for two years, and I think I'll need at least another five years with freshwater experiance before I even THINK about saltwater. Just read up on it - it's hard even for an experianced fishkeeper at times.

You really should start with a freshwater tank first, though 220 gallons would be a great starting point because with larger tanks, it's harder to screw up horribly.

Thanks for the replies.
wodesorel I know what you mean! It will be quite the undertaking starting a saltwater tank, but hopefully I can do it!
I should have written in the first post that I have semi-helped my mom (she knows much more about fish than me) for well over 10 years with taking care of a large group of freshwater fish (goldfish .
I am scared about taking care of coral, however
