Saltwater

[Davidiator]

So first off i wanted to say "I'm BACK!"

I don't remember the last time i was on here :/

Anyways. I sadly was forced to sell my 150 gallon aquarium do to a move. BUT now I want to get back into the aquarium hobby... I want to do saltwater.

so i was wondering if any of these are good deals?

and can I get a list of what I need to set up a good saltwater aquarium?

I am thinking no more than 75 gallons but I would prefer 36-55...

The bigger the tank the better especially for saltwater, what’s holding you back from more?

Space.

If you are looking to keep more than 3 to 5 fish I would go with the 75. I have a ten gal and a 30 salt and I am limited on fish selection to a smaller selection fish then I would be with a tank that is even 20 gals bigger. When I was going to do a community with my 30 I found out that I would only be able to keep up to 5 fish. I ended up turning the tank into a pred tank and going with a frogfish. With the 75 water parameters are going to be easier to keep up with too.

You think 75 has everything I will need?

Get a big tank, the bigger the better.
You'll also need: a good heater.
A powerhead( variable flow is best)

But does the 75 look good?

Like are those filters ok?

And yes I do plan on getting live rock cause I want coral

Bit over priced and here's a hint: some keepers keep corals without any filters, just powerheads, keeping up with water changes is essential however.

Why not consider the following:
Kenya tree and other beginner soft corals.
Mushroom corals.
A hammer coral(keep away from most other corals, as hammers love to fight)
Some macro algae
A blood shrimp
Snails
Some cardinal fish
Some semi peaceful damsels
A lone banded serpent star
