Lol i'm 13 maybe understanding parents
can you list the best brand and that kind of stuff

As for brands, if you are trying to keep costs down, try using this forum for good used equipment. There might be several opinions on different types of equipment so do your homework and read, read , read. Some people swear by German aquarium products, but there are lots of good products out there. Check Craigslist too. Being in Edmonton I encourage fellow reefers to suggest a good aquarium/pet store in your area. Maybe even some local breeders and suppliers. Remember the first No/No in a marine tank is to rush it and not do your research. I am always learning new things from this and other reef forums ...aint the internet great!!

I second the skimmer.Better to get something rated for more tank than you have.Euroreef makes good skimmers and theres others I just dont own them and don't know.I have a euroreef rs100 on my 20g and love it.Make sure you take your time to no sense in rushing in and losing livestock.Clint

I'm just thinking about livestock as one piece of the puzzle i won't put the peices together until i get all of them.

I like Deltec skimmers.

I've used MCE600 & AP600 before.

Both performed really well (I've currently got a MCE600)

Deltec Skimmers

But I'm planning a 120-150g tank and everyone I speak to around here seems to be recommending Bubble Kings (if you have the $$$ that is!)

If i buy a skimmer it will be for a 70g not a sixty so i get better results.
I'll buy everything a size 2 big
