Ok after looking around for alittle bit I came up with somewhat of a rough list:
Assuming the tank is 80-90 gallons
1) Emperor 280 Power filter - rated for 280 GPH
2) Danner Mag-Drive Supreme 9.5 Powerhead- rated for 950 GPH
3) Sea Clone Protein skimmer - rated up to 150 GPH
Are these good enough? Anything else essential that I will need (if so, please specifiy GPH I should be looking for)?.
I can buy the salt, sand, food, etc from a local fish store. However are there any recommendations/complaints about any certin types or salt or sand? What brands should I be looking for?
And one last question:
When i do set this tank up, im going to fishless cycle it. Is the process the same as a freshwater tank? Add ammonia and bacteria, and wait for levels in ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate to drop to 0? Then buy one fish per week?
