So, I've been researching tanks for 4 years now. Finally, we have the funds to start one. Everyone says go 55 gals or bigger. I do the math, and a 75 gallon tank drops in my lap. All the stuff you have to buy is the same as a 55 gallon tank, so, let's do this (initially, $60 more for the tank and stand). I get my tank, buy the rocks (That's the biggest expense), get the sand (second biggest expense, but, you aren't told this at the time), and then everyone tells me I need this and that. (Refugium, sump, fish room, build a house to fit your tank), I'm happy with the ten crabs I just bought, and I'll be happy with the chromis and stuff I add this week. It's a process, a journey, it's not buying everything, have it perfect and saying hey, look at my tank. But I do want a fish room.......
