530tank is looking at reefs
Default HI im from california READ MY POST!!!!

ok so im new to this. Im a 22 year old from sacramento cal. I am obsessed with fish and have been for along time. I started a 30 gallon and was successful in the beginning stages. I did it all for the long horned cow fish. It was a priud moment when i got him homw after months of cultivating. It was sad the next day when i realized he had been eaten by the hermit crab. I asked specifically about this crab i even took him into the shop where i got my cowfish. I was very upset and gave up for a while. After only weeks the itch came back. So i decided to do it right. I hunted down an Oak 200 gallon tank and stabd set up. It cames with what looks like a complex filter system. So i got busy with school and sports and my other hobbies, basically my car. Its been sitting for over a year. I bought the coral sand and some rocj chunks but i have no idea how to set up this filter that came with it or even if its complete. I came on here becuase i was to take my interest to the level it should be at and i want to build the tank ive always wanted. I want to know everything i need to but ive been on here about 10 minutes and i am so over whelmed. I want to have my tank now but i dont know much aboiut anything lol. I need to start by figuring out my filter system. Ill take pics asap but i dont have my camera handy so ill try explaining it. The main part is a 30 gallon plastic box. It is divided into two compartments and one says water level. It has a bunch of bio balls. It has two lids that together look to make a empty square. Maybe a filter rests here? the bottom part of the lid has whole and the top part has two "ports" of some kind. It came with one submersible pump and some other thing i dont even know what it is. I had my friend whp knows more than me look at it and he said i would have to build pcp pips to fit the "ports" And he didnt know what the other thing was either but it looks like a idfferent type of pump. Does anyone have any idea lol? Or will i have to wait till i get pics? Ive searched for the brand name on it and i cant find anything. All it says on the side is Del Rey. Is that a common brand? Ok im tired of typing lol
