easiest fish only saltwater setup

[barberking12]

just wondering what the easiest setup is to run for a fish only tank like equipment wise can i use a canister etc...

[eklikewhoa]

simple big tank, lots of live rock and powerheads work.

i was wanting to avoid live rock im thinking of doing a ray setup

[eklikewhoa]

get metal bucket, pile cash inside, add lighter fluid and light a match.

ya i might need to rethink this one lol

If you are going to do a ray tank with little or no rock. Get a big arse sump and fill it full of LR and have a huge skimmer. Both of these should be way oversized for the size tank you have. Do not do canister. But I like Eks comments better.

You could also pile the rock on the side of the tank so that the ray can move around in the center. How big is your tank because you should have a beast to keep a ray.

ya it was an impulse im over it all ready lol i think im just going to get some cichlids

that was fast

[barberking12]

no big tank yet i was going to buy one and let it cycle and then get a ray thats why i was wondering but like ek said might as well burn some money lol

if u really want to try salt then do give up that easy lol. the april issue of TFH has about talked me into trying fuzzy dwarf lionfish whenever i get around to converting the garage into a me-cave

ya i was just thinking to big for the time being lol

[Totenkampf]

i have that problem. im not happy unless my idea gets bigger / more complex / less realistic.
