Is it worth it to do a 55galon salt water tank?

also witht the whole reef orlarger thing that turbo (i think) pointed out. if you did a FO and kept reef safe fish, with time (and money) you could slowly work your way up the different kinds of inverts and corals, evetually attaining a full reef set up.
just and idea but again yes, 55 work amazingly well for SW.

My buddy has a beautiful 55 gallom reef. I agree with big gourami. You should buy 70-80 lbs of live rock and sand then let it cycle and do reef safe fish until you are ready to upgrade lights, skimmer etc. Goodl Luck and welcome to the reef world!

FO- Fisho Only
FOWLR- Fish Only With Live Rock

sweetness...
let that sit in the tank w/a heater and filter work about 2 weeks then add a few small fish.

When you cycle the tank please go to Kroger and buy a big piece of raw shrimp and tie it to fishing line. Then put that in the aquarium until the ammonia spikes and then take it out. This will jump start your cycle without stressing out any fish. If you plan on eventually making this a reef then don't use any type of Damesel. They are mean and will stress or kill your peacefully reef fish. LOL! Good Luck!
