Hey everyone!
I am going to be getting back into saltwater tanks and i cannot decide between 3 options and i was hoping you guys could help. First off, this is my first saltwater tank in about 3 years so i think of myself as a beginner. My goals for this tang are to have a nice mix of gencanthus angels (bellus, swallowtail, lamarks, watanabe), tangs like fowleri, tenneti, black streak surgeons, and yellows to list a few, a group of clowns and their anemones (probably 5 clowns max), wrasses (Halichoeres, cirraharbus, flashers and a few others), and of course, my favorite.... ANTHIAS!!!! I am wanting to do a nice mix of different kinds of anthias, a pair or trio at the most of each species. I am thinking about 5 different species of anthias. I also want to do coral, zoas, euphyllia , elegance, and maybe acropora... But my favorite are zoas and euphyllia. That being said, I know that my fish decisions will change depending on what tank i get. The budget including a few fish and corals is $1,000, but would like to keep it under that.
1*** 75g tank that comes with T5 lights, stand, sump, pump, skimmer, wavemakers, rock(covered in zoas!), sand, and a bunch of other misc stuff. He is asking $225 for everything
2*** 125g that comes with stand, sump, pump, skimmer, pumps, wavemakers, heater, 100lbs of rock, and a palani tang, unicorn tang, and a few other misc fish. He is asking $500 but the thing is that there is no light....
3*** 220g glass tank, stand, jebao return pump, 40b sump, and 3 Chinese box LEDs and he is asking $350 obo
I want the 220g but the amount of rock needed would use up my whole budget I think. Also the 220g is about 2 hours away so renting a truck would add a bit to the cost of it. What are your thoughts? Please tell me what tank and why you would choose it! I would greatly appreciate your input!
