HAHA^^^ but yea i definatly will scrub everything down. Is there anymore equipment required?

For scrubbing? No...just dont use any chemicals. There are some that I use but you have to be super ana...*careful* about which ones and how you use them. :D
 
cool! Also, if you were to do a community tank that was for display, how would you stock it? My dads buying so price isnt a factor lol.
 
My 75 had copper used in it before, on several occasions that I know of. I sat it out in the garage with bleach and tap and let it sit for 24 hours. Wiped down the glass, drained it, filled with fresh water, wiped the tank down, drained it, filled with fresh, and so on.

Being used as salt now, and I have zero issues.

Bleach, exposure to sun, and plenty of time for it to soak out are the key factors.

Stocking is too complex of an issue for me to just tell you how to do it. What do you WANT in your tank? If we told you we might as well have the aquarium in our house! :D
 
Well were Im from there isnt many places with saltwater fish, but I saw a fish called a panther grouper? He looked pretty sick... other fish I like are Angels, wrasses, and triggers?

Shop to your hearts content. Then ask questions based on a specific animal. :D

These are the fish that caught my eye. Any of these compatible?
Queen Angelfish Way too big
Emperor Angelfish Still too big
Passer Angelfish Large angels will kill each other, pick one
Golden Semilarvatus Butterflyfish
Blue Line Grouper
Spotted Grouper both groupers can get big and aggressive esp. at feeding time, they'll be fine, keep them in mind
Red Mandarin never, feeds solely on copepods and would probably get picked on anyway
Purple Tang very aggressive, but will work
Whitecheek Tang
Undulate Triggerfish not recommended with tankmates
Richmond's Wrasse
Pinkface Wrasse
Zebra Moray Eel
Flame Angelfish
Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish

i am in no way shape or form telling u to keep all of these fish, these are just suggestions on fish you could look into, a lot of these are chosen based on the fact that u have ur dads wallet as ur budget

 
Well done big...

That being said, there are recommended tank sizes for most of those fish. There are also compatibility charts. Do a little research, come up with something realistic, and we can be of more help.
