    a tank set up can be done easily if you like simplicity. get a T5 light, a skimmer, a big packet of salt, 3 to 4 packets of sand, a few packet of coral chips , a packet of filter wool, a bottle of live bacteria; water system can start to run. simply done, it wont exceed $500 as for live rocks, throw in a loose 50kg live rocks[$2 per kg] and let the tank cycle. total, a rough $500 plus minus. after that , do enjoy the pleasure of choosing and collecting slowly; corals and fishes at your own pace. after the tank matures,you can choose to upgrade or add in equipments if you wish; of things with great prices and variety from this forum. :)

    your cabinet white or brown . and i do u think of the diamond reef quick start system.

    Hi Bro,

    Welcome on board. 2 ways to see things. Agrees that it is good if you have the budget to spend on high end equipment initially rather than upgrade in future. However, the other side is, if the interest is short - span, money always wasted. Lol.

    Since you have a budget, do lookout for second-hand setup. Think there are a number of sellers trying to sell off 2ft tank with setup. Please note the thickness and dimension of the tank. The thicker, the better...lol....dimension will depend on your space - 2ft by 2ft by 2ft is good. Other than that, it might have space constraint and lack of depth. Also look out for canister or sump filter setup(sump filter better). Then look for lighting, skimmer, chiller(if you intend to keep corals), test kit - parameters such as pH, NO, PO, SG, etc. Big tank is more stable as compared to small tank but if you are hardworking, no problem. hehe.

    The other option is go for nano tank setup. All in one small tank, except for the chiller. One popular tank is the Red Sea Max but there are always positive vs negative feedback.

    In a nutshell, you have to decide the following:

    Keep Fish only or Mixed

    Tank Size

    Decoration - Rock and sand or just rock(types also)

    Filter System - sump, canister, bio, etc

    Skimmer - Type

    Lighting

    Test Kit

    Chiller?

    Power Points

    Cabinet

    FR - PO or Carbon, UV, Ozoniser - Good to have

    Accessories..

    Food

    Shopping for fishes and coral....

    err...based on my experience....may have omitted some.....just went through....lol....sometime it is good to find someone to talk rather than reading ...just cant seem to get into brain or understand them...wahahaha....where do you stay....maybe can help you and invite to go fish farm shopping....lol...then u will understand more....hehe

    i would say start with a 3 footer will be more stable... start a tank with the biggest size and best range of equipment u can afford... as upgrades is gonna cost u more in the long term... how much u spend is dependant on your choice of equipment...

    :thanks: 4 your advise

    But i only allow to spend around 500-1000 for every thing what is your advise and recomendation?
