Starting tomorrow..

Hi there my husband and I have been wanted to get into the world of saltwater fish for quite some time and finally are in the situation to do so YAY!
We have been searching all over and finally found a tank we really like from the ocean floor that happens to be on sale until tomorrow. Its 150 gallon glass tank and the tank itself is on the taller side rather than thin and long. Its not drilled. We are planning to have a swim tank.
If anyone has any last minute advice before we make our purchase we would appreciate it!

I really like drilled (reef ready) tanks. For saltwater, sumps are helpful and I don't trust the siphon overflows. Just one less thing to worry about. My .02.

WELCOME!!!

If you go with the taller tank and decide to go reef you will kick yourself in the you know what later but for fish only go for it!!

Read, read, read and read some more. Patience is the key. Do not rush out the same day you buy the tank and get a fish.
