    when we decided to get back into keeping fish we thought about doing a salt water tank until we figured up the up front cost of doing a 100gal set up. we decided to go with the african cichlids and the s/a cichlids.


    your stocking list looks really nice..can't wait to see them in your tank.

    I disagree, I think the false perculas would look soo much better. Plus they stay nice and small and would love the in's and out's of the rockwork more.
    lol...I told ya color all the way...just can't be helped. Lol!

    oh..didn't know you were adding polyps.

    I used saltwaterfish when I ordered my stuff (was cheaper than my lfs)...plus they used to have (still might) this incentive program where you could earn free cash for their site

    ok, i'll think about using saltwater fish if my lfs is really expensive, i've only bought ro/di water there, and only been there one time and the place was small but had some really nice display tanks and even a large planted tank :D

    what I'd do is go there with a pen and paper and mark the fishys names and prices that you are interested in...then come home and compare it with the web and see whose price is cheaper..that's what I did when I started stocking.
