 Re: Beginners Plan
ksufiji,
I can't see where you are from but the first thing I would suggest is that you seek out a local Marine Aquarium Society, normally you pay just a small annual fee but you get that back tenfold in advice and support and freebies :-)
Secondly, just get your tank filled with water and sand and get it cycling, get yourself just 1 or 2 pounds of live rock and let it do it's thing as you can then, as you can afford it, load up the rest with 'dead' rock and if you are a little patient you will get some great results.
Once the initial cycle has finished, add a small fish and then another after a couple of weeks. While you watch them you will notice that the 'dead' rock you have been adding will show some biology and it will become seeded and inhabited by the critters. It's a great way to start a new tank.
