they have 10 gallon tanks for 10 bucks around here so im not even counting that in the money I've got, i can grab that after christmas whenever...

I have $100 to order supplies online for my 10 gallon salt...i'd like to eventually have an anemone so im not sure what lighting I need for that? will a flourescent(sp?) fixture work with a certain bulb or no? I know the tank has to be established, but I'm talking for the future on the anemone.

I plan to have 2 fish max and a crab or 2 and maybe a shrimp or starfish as the clean up crew if they'll work together...


my question is aside from the tank and liverock which I'll get from the pet store later on...what do I need so far on my list I have the following

$20 50 watt heater http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=21323
$3 thermometer http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/Product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3921
$32 canister filter http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3579+16742&pcatid=16742&s=lh

I'm up to $62 dollars shipped so I have like 40 bucks left
i want to stick with ordering from the same place.

what lighting should I run?
does live sand REALLY matter if I use live rock? any deals on substrate for a little salt tank on that site?
i know i need the salt tester and aquarium salt? any reasonably priced ones on that site?
anything I'm forgetting?

U will have to ask nitty, hes our best saltwater guy, hes helped most if not all in their setup

cool, hopefully he can chime in here...my friend started a little 10 gallon salt fowlr and it's doing well. i need to get him on here too.

He will probably say a t5 but I bet he has a better idea then me lol since im no saltwater person. I want to try but at this point cant afford and still want to broaden my horizon on freshwater then syep up to salt.

cool, i wonder if they make real little ones for a small tank.
