2. IMPULSE buy on fish and corals.
3. Research
4. Patience
5. SAVE
6. Patience
7.Read
Get my picture. the biggest thing with with Salt water is its less forgiving then freshwater. you can have a 5 degree change in your tank all the time with fresh water, or a Ammonia or nitrate problem its not that big of a deal. Since some Freshwater the PH is somewhat low in the 7 range. or Lest say neutral.
With Salt water you have alot of thing s that will change in a small tank. What I mean is things are going to change in a smaller tank faster then a Bigger tank. So that is why we tried to steer the newbie's towards a somewhat bigger tank. I'm not saying tha you are a newbie in the Fish Dept , However when we look at the way water works and how things change smaller isn't always better.
HENCE the smaller tank .....
WAIT for your size and go with the biggest you can get. DOn't just buy because you wanna start. Looking at that tank $50 bucks isnt that much and tha stand may come with it and you are getting a used tank tha may have had Copper that REEFWARS has stated you may not know what you are getting in to and Etc ETC.
There is lots of of great deals in Winnipeg. Heck i have a 50 gal you can have for $50 bucks and its brand new. I even have a 150 gal with the stand and trim if you are doing a inwall that I can sell to you for $400 bucks. its Euro Bracing around and open. if you need any help in what to buy ask here or Heck PM me your number I will call you. Im in Brandon.
Good luck
