I'm in Red Deer, but I'm not a reefer yet - I only own 90 gallons of salt water and 60 lbs of live rock. It is the plan though!

That's were you start. I started by buying a used complete system. Now I Have a 155 Bow Front, picking up a 75 corner (new pred tank) and 45 hex (seahorse tank) tommorow. Also have a 15 gal hex, 2 - 30 gal, 40 gal tall hex, 64 gal, 55 gal FW and a 125 gal FW. Got to sell the 40 tall & 65 gal (both empty)and atleast one or both 30 gal (temp tanks for preds) just to many tanks.

got bored of fresh water, trying reef. got the tank,(72 g bowfront) need LR LS, and a skimmer, but most of all ADVICE/INFORMATION, so i don't end up wasting my time and money

Well don't waste your time and money at the LFS here in Red Deer, price's are to high, stock quality is low and the knowledge is non-existent.

If you are in Calgary you need to go to RED CORAL, Kevin & Doug are the bomb, Gold's, Ocean City and Wei's are great to in my opinion.

As for Edmonton, BLUE WATER is my favorite place but have not been to the new one Aquagiant yet.

There are also some GREAT online shop's as well, The Reef Shoppe (Kelly) AWESOME, J&L and Coral Master's just to name a few.

hey guys, do you NEED VHO to grow sps corals or will others do? ive been doing some reading and it was giving me that impression

[The Grizz]

T5 HO or Metal Halide or a combo of both it what I have seen on a lot of the amazing tanks that I have seen so far.

I have a few things that I will not be using anymore in the way of canister filter's, UV sterilizer's and a sump if you are interested.
