Essential Reef set up equipment

oh really, i never would have guessed.. like i said, forget i asked, ill go somewhere else and ask somebody else.

Have you read The Reef Aquarium Volume 3? This book is great for setup ideas and methods for maintaining reef tanks.

Do you have any idea how big of tank you want to have....or better yet ...can afford to get? This will also determine what your going to need.

No. But i looked for it and couldnt find it anywhere in town. We have a very limited aquarium support here. thats why i came here for help.. Which i dont seem to be getting. I already know i need to read more, i never said im going to stop reading it, i just wanted a list of what some of the experienced reefers here would recommend. So itd at least point me in the right direction..

I dont have much room for anything bigger than a 100gal

[Joe Reefer]

ok so you want a list:

-tank
-pumps
-sand
-skimmer
-rock
-lights

If it was just that easy as "buy this" for the perfect reef.

I'm sure I could say you need this exactly and 10 people here would say "ahhh maybe this". I'm also sure you could pick a system say from TOTM and clone it and you won't get the same results (probably good start though).

Read, talk to people, search or ask specific questions.

well, i was hoping for something a bit more.. i dunno.. usefull than that. but thanx anyways.

This is my last post in this thread, I pointed you in the right direction in my first post. Did you even click on any of the links? What we are telling you is you can't go out a buy reef tank off the shelf and have it look the way you think it is going to look. In fact its prob going to look like $hi*. Sorry for sounding like such an a$$hole. This forum is one of the best reef sites on the net, everyone here truly loves this hobby and are willing to help in almost anyway they can. Maybe you should just move on.

I never said i was just going to go and buy it, i was just trying to get a freaking base of what to start LOOKING at what to buy. I asked for help, not for a stupid 'go read this book' idea. IM ALREADY DOING THAT as i already said. But i m getting some help from one member.. So thank you to him.
