 |  Hi From Vegas
Hey All, Just starting out in the hobby... I've been reading a lot of books and forums, etc and just this week I got my gear up and running. This is what I've got so far:
40 gallon glass tank
Blue/White PC Lights
External Hang on Overflow
10 Gallon glass tank for a sump
1 Sock Filter
1 950gph Mag Pump
20lbs of Live Rock (Will get more later)
40lbs Live Sand
2 100watt heaters
I can't wait to start putting livestock into the tank
Anyone else from Vegas? |

Well, I'd say Green Valley Aquariums has the best selection of corals, fish, and equipment, but they are way overpriced. This place called Fish Tropical on Bruce Street is pretty good. Their selection isn't the best, but they have good prices, and can get you custom built cabinets and tanks, and a girl named Liz their who helps me is very good. Trop Aquarium on Tropicana is a good place too, kind of pricey, ok selection. ATM is another good one. ATM stands for Acrylic Tank Manufacture. They custom build Bada$$ acrylic tanks and refugiums. They have a really good selection also, all kinds of cool fish and corals, but they are also a little overpriced.. ATM has 2 locations, west Las Vegas and Henderson.. There are a couple others, but those are my favorites..
What side of town do you live on?? | |
