Thanks for the tips. Ok, I'm not going to worry about corals, that'll solve the problem of not having to get a really good light system (96W for a 2 foot long and 1 foot high tank is just too much for my budget). Also won't need to worry about keeping nitrates down as much if I just have fish, so I will go the canister filter.

I will get liverock though. Remember I'm Aussie and I don't use pounds and gallon anymore.

Oh yeah, I just got home and found a cleaner wrasse in my tank!!!!!!!!!! My sister bought it for me as a present! Crazy girl! My tank has only been cycling for a few days with some mollies in there. How am I going to keep it alive!!!!!!!!! They eat parasites off other fish, will he be ok food wise? What else do I feed him?

Please help!
