Hello all,

I'm new to the site. My buddy said I should join up because I'm wanting to start up a decent size saltwater aquarium. I know I want to have corals, so I know that needs better equipment. I was just wanting to see what some people had around the quad city area. I was thinkning of a 55 gallon, but anything would be good enough. Plz let me know of any info. Anything can help. Thanx

 

Not in your area nor do I have a tank for you but I just would like to welcome you to the site.

 

Hey welcome to the site. I am in the QC. Looking forward to seeing what you put together.

 

Welcome! There are always some great deals on here just gotta keep your eye out for em.

 

Yay, another reefer in the QCA! Welcome! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

 

Welcome!

 

Thank for the reply. What comes with the 135? And how much?

 

Thanx for the welcome. 90 sounds good to me. How much and where are you located?

 

Are you PMing or posting to your thread?

 

I'm not sure what pming is?

 

I think he is responding to peoples signatures.

 

Yea idk if I'm doing this right. I'm on my mobile and this is my first day on the site

 

Welcome to the site. Nice to see another QC member on here.. Dont forget to subscribe to the Quad City Area regional forum.. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

we have a buy sell trade forum. What you are seeing are peoples signatures. Basically they are describing their tanks.

 

Welcome - I would highly suggest something wider than a 55 gallon tank. A 75 gallon or 90 gallon is a perfect size to start with. Anything much smaller is hard to keep stable for a beginner. You will want something that's at least 18" wide so there is room for rock & corals to grow.

As a tip - Always research before you buy and make sure you use RO/DI water (Reverse Osmosis / Deionized).

 

Thank for the info Lee. I was wanting to start with a 55. I'm just not sure what to look for equipment wise. I would like to just buy a whole set up and replace items if need be

 

Here are some links to some starter information:
