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.

Okay here is your list:

Water
- salt (lots to choose from)
- refractometer or a dialed in hydrometer. Refractometer is more acurate.
- testkits, many people seem to like the salifert brand. For just starting out, you'll need; ammonia, nitrate, nitrite. Eventually for a reef tank you should have calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. Some people test for more parameters, but these are the basics.

Lighting
- Since you mentioned you want a full reef tank you have lots of options. In essence you are going to want to consider T5s, or Metal halide lighting. You - you may want to do supplemental lighting for color
- you may also consider moonlighting for evening or after dark lighting.

The tank:
- You said no bigger the 100g. Is the size of the display you are stating, or the overall system?

Is this the type of list your looking for?
