Hi ReefCentral!
I've had a 55 gallon tank for a few years back in 1995. I started out with African cichlids then converted to a marine tank with fish only. I'm planning on buying a new tank with a stand/cabinet in a few weeks and I'm wondering where would be the best place to order one as far as quality and cost goes.
I had two in mind- a 66 gallon tank with cabinet and sump from www.scaquariums.com or the 70 gallon Artisan II tank with pinewood cabinet and sump from www.cadlights.com.
Are any of these tanks a good choice for a beginner? Any advice or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

hello and thank you for allowing me to be apart of this forum.... im mike I live in the south and the water / ocean is apart of my life. I am a part time scuba diver down in Florida and decided to start my first aquarium , i recently purchased a new reef tank (biocube 29) from a customer of mine ,bran new in box for $100 and could not pass up the deal figured for my first tank it would be good to learn with , yes i know its a small tank but that's what was in front of me at the time. i would like to make this a half fish and half reef tank , ive been dong research to learn how to start this and how to maintain. i wanted to become apart of a group / family to grow with and learn as much as i can so i picked reef central to do so as this forum looks as if its a great place to be. Now for your advance reefers take it easy on me cause i know at one point you had to start somewhere as well .......well thanks and hope to make some friends and gain advice from such a great place !!!!!!!

Hi all!
Taking a moment to stop and say hi, in the process of building my 40 gallon reef tank after years of fascination and awe and having fresh water. So far had a few hitchhikers on the live rock and hoping to figure out what they are.

Hey! I'm new to the saltwater hobby. I have a 10g and a 20g high. I also have freshwater as well.
Cycling my 10g, so just the 20g is up and running. It has 8 pounds of live rock, 2 clownfish, 1 bubble anemone, and 5 types of coral that I am unsure of all the names.

Howdy,
Wanted to learn the science of it, going to start a ten soon.
All my experience has been with South American cichlids, tetra, and some fresh water inverts.
Will be starting out with donated equipment and conflicting advice from friends.
Thanks

Hello

Hello everyone of ReefCentral I'm new here and haven't personally set up a saltwater tank but my father has set up many and I might soon set up a tank. I personally have setup multiple freshwater tanks and have done tons of research and intend to learn more from all of you guys on RC.
PS. I'm only twelve years old.

Hello All!
just set up a 20 gallon reef, which my LFS after testing my water, has finished cycling or at least at it the end. Which I found seeing how it was less then 2 weeks with only live rock and sand...
Either way just added 3 hermits to take care of the diatom bloom and installed the skimmer. Any suggestions for what to do next would be welcome!
