Hey I jus joined the other day! I found it hard to get any real solid info on starting a marine tank, then i stumbled on this site... really glad to see active members! : ) Im in Chicago and im going to be starting my first saltwater in a few weeks!!! i live with my cousin and we're really excited... we have 2 cats and a spotted desert gecko and cant wait to add a few beautiful fish to the fun.

ill post some initial ideas i had in one of the other forum sections!

Welcome to TFK, Garrett! What size tank are you going to set up?
Do you have any pics you'd like to share? Of your cats, the gecko...we love pics.

so id share some pics but the darn uploader was being a bit finicky... n e way Tori and Anni are going to be 3 soon they are our cats and Ofillia of gecko will be 6 soon!!! ill get some pics up soon!

we are going to set up a 55 gal... i just found out tonight that petco is having a sale on tanks from 10 to 55 gal for $1 per gal!!! plus i have read on a few pages that as a beginner you should ideally go with a tank with a larger surface area for oxygenation purposes (???)... either way we've both been reading up and are really excited!
