Hi all,
I've decided to keeping a marine fish tank. totally no experience in this because i only use to keep freshwater fish.
I've gotten quotes from various supplier, the estimated cost for a 3 X 2 X 2 full system tank with a full height cabinet ranges from 3-4k.
however, these packages does not comes with a chiller.
How are the prices? am i being carroted?
I want to keep corals so i guess chiller is essential?? but i dont plan on stocking too heavily on it as i'm still a newbie, so im looking at like just a few maybe 2-3 soft corals .
anyway, one of the supplier quoted me 3k with no chiller, but i noticed his tanks has those soft corals im planing to keep. he explained that those are anemone and i have to hand feed them.
actually what is the main difference between soft corals and anemone? i still have to feed the corals right?
and it's a bit difficult for me to understand why does soft corals need a chiller but a tank with anemone do not.
Hope somebody can enlighten me.
