I haven't finished reading this thread yet, but already I'm pretty much not in the mood to help.
The real ANSWER is read more, and then decide what YOU want from what you've read. Yes, I know you don't like that answer, but that is THE answer.

Every member on this board will be the same as the books. 50 members, 50 different opinions.

Since the begining I could tell Slipstream doesnt have much money.He would like buy all the stuff you people were suggesting but was trying to do the best tank with the budget he has.That is what I got out of it.I like the pictures he posted.Remember your first tanks

Thanx Salmon, your one of the FEW people on this site actually willing to help me in my particular situation.

One thing im trying to look into, is saving up for a reef cube... U know, the all in one filter systems for a reef tank.

Well, thats just such a nice post about a board, thats one of the best online, and esp. a board that caters to local reefers in its main area,s.

I thought, many were offering you good advice. What else would you like for them/us to post? Please let us know what it is you require?

Did you read the reference library I pointed out and that one of our staff spent tireless hours setting up for new aquarists to read or someone with particular problems ? Lots of good info.

Those look pretty neat. Several of our members are running one or similar tanks. I remember reading some in the journal forum.

I would be wary of their filtration capacity and some are much better than others, {lighting also}, but I guess water changes are easily done and will greatly assist filtration.

What about having a smaller cube built & running a sump? Some nice ones on here also.
