I have never had marine fish before and I don't really know that much about them, I have been trying to read up though.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

And if this isn't the right tank for me any help on setting one up would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hi Timtam22, nice to see another Wlg marine keeper, there are only a few of us around. You need to decide what you what to do (keep), that setup is no good for keeping anything other than a couple of fish and bare rock. There isn't a skimmer and not much light, plus is on the small side, keeping marine is all about stablity which will be difficult in a tank that small.

If a fish only of tank is what you want to keep, then it is an ok deal, not a rip off but not a bargin.

You are welcome to come have a look at my tank if you like, and I can give you a quick run down on how they work, the hobby changes very fast and some shops etc that don't have big marine setups can get behind the times. PM me if your interested, I'm in Tawa.

Yes TimTam, reading & learning on the net is very good, but actually looking at a tank & learning from the owner, is worth a ton of reading especially when starting.

I'd highly recommend you take Suphew up on his offer, before committing to a buying decision.

Thanks for that and yea I am going to see his tank in the next couple days, which will be great to see everything going and working.

Thanks heaps for the quick replies
