LOL I only placed J as my name, forgot the other initial. It's JM.

I do agree this hobby is fun, and one reason I wanna do it is because it relaxes me whenever I sit back and stare at my dads tank (Even though I'm annoyed at how it's set up).

But now I think this tank will be going to my girl since she wants me to set up a nano for her as we believe that fish brings goodluck to our homes.

So this tank is a 10g, should I buy a filter that's bigger? Like maybe for a 20g-30g? And then a heater and a small powerhead as she's not going to run a sump.

And by pods, do you mean those li'l critters? What benefits do they give?
As for livestock, maybe small fish, small cuc, and lotsa colorful corals!

Thank you for the advice Reefwars!

when I get my tank almost done I will probe your mind immensely about the proper plumbing and drilling of the main tank. If that is alright with you?

hi guys, im new to this sw stuff. been a fw guy for years. i have always wanted to get into the sw hobby..... so i drained my fresh water, built me a sump.... and now im on my way. i find my biggest obstacle to be finding supplies. i live in the shuswap/okanagan and it took me a month to find a simple return pump. LR is around 10$/lbs (and that means driving an hour to the lps). and nobody really even knows what their talking about. any ways, i have a 33gal main and a 15ish gal sump. everything just sitting here with salt water circulating. can the system just run like that with nothing in it but dead rock/coral? i figure another good month before i can afford LR at 10$lb. also does anyone know the best place for supplies and advice between kamloops and kelowna. anything else anyone would like to add that might be helpful to a newbie would b greatly appreciated thanx.
