Default any saltwater aquarium lovers here...

any1 in the 804 area have a saltwater aquarium? I'm just getting into the hobby and just wanted to know if there are any other on here. Where do you go for your fish and supplies? I found a place by my house called Atlantis Aquarium on Patterson. I plan to get a 55 gallon or maybe even larger. Any1 with pix of there aquarium?

I've read and also was told that its more of a upkeep to smaller tanks...the larger the better...i can't really have a small tank for the fish I want...i luv the lionfish...they get big n need room...

i have been doing it for the past 8 years. I have recently decided to sale my full reef ready tank because of my new job. Check the classifieds for an awesome deal of a full tank.

My boss gets his fish from saltwaterfish.com. That was more affordable than the locale supplier and faster delivery.

You should get a 75 or 90. I like my 75 because I can reach the bottom. Atlantis will set you straight. Just make sure you get the proper drilled tank w/ overflow, and a proper sump, power heads, etc.
