The number one rule that I and every other marine aquarist have learnt, is don't even consider livestock for at least 1 month from when you have the tank cycling (with sand, live rock etc.). Marine aquariums certainly are a patience thing.

yeah i am not looking forward to waiting but im sure in the end it will be worth it

the tank i had organised fell through so now i am hunting for another one

i wass so close too

cheers

Just do what I did, buy a standard tank in whatever size you want. Then drill it etc. Get another tank for your sump and so on. Do it all yourself. I found I have a better understanding of it all now since doing it that way.

[firedragon92]

yeah that is always an option i guess it would pobably work out cheaper that way as well

cheers
