i got started in sw tanks a few years ago, first i had a FO, then a FOWLR, and of course then i had a reef. but it was costing too much for the reef, soo i emptied my tank and went back to FW
, but i made the mistake of getting piranhas, and they were actually not that hard to take care of, but there was a lot of maintence, and they were, we'll boring, they were only fun when they ate, and then they just sat there all day, and one day they decided to eat eachother, soo i went from 4 to 1 fish. my friend is going to buy my last one off of me, soo now im going back to SW and i wanna do it right now. im not gunna do the reef, cuz i really dont of the time and of course money for that(bills, insurance, other expenses, its hard bein in this hobby when your a teenager) this time i wanna just do a FO. now i havnt been readin up on SW for awhile soo im going to need a little help. i'll give you a list of what i have as of now as far as equipment goes. 75gl AGA with overflow to a 20gl sump(i custom made, not a wet/dry, just for filters) i have a penguin bio-wheel(the biggest model, i dont remember the exact model) rena-filastar cannister(again dont remember the model, but i bought the biggest one) and an ASM G-2 skimmer. thats the basic stuff i have, i also have other random pumps and heaters and what not. ok as for what i want in the tank basically all i want is a volitan lionfish. a lionfish should be fine in the 75 right? i figured i'd put him in the 75 and then buy a real wet/dry sump with bio-balls( i remember readin that wet/drys are bad, but the guy at my LFS said wet/drys are ok for FO) and maybe on top of that a HOB skimmer if neccesary, thanks
