Welcome aboard Ryan.
First congratulations on asking questions the people here are a load of help.
Let me say that there are a lot of different opinions and more then one can be right. My nano tank was doing very well without a skimmer until my fuge light died. With a 30 G tank some people set...
Natural sea water can be found but it is like 2 dollars a gallon at some of the LFS. Tropiquarium makes their own salt water, they are in central NJ at 1 dollar a gallon. Then you can buy a RO/DI unit and make your own. Dr Fosters is the cheapest to get the salt shipped to you.
I had mine built by Orca Systems.
It was great unfortunately DHL kicked the side in.

I didn't get the skimmer though he is going to show me some custom ones. You can...
Hey Steve. I think your three fish will be alright in a 10G for a while but I would wait till the house goes under contract. Let me tell you that could take a while the market is terrible at the momment. The realtor is blowing smoke up your parents you know what. I am not saying it isn't a great...
My gosh that is scary you are right...oh wait we are supposed to be supportive right?
It looks great you will have a lot to put into your new tank though and your tang should be super happy. ;D
They built mine specifically ... but he is going to show me custom skimmer too, not 100% sure but if the price is right I am going to let him build it for me also. I think it is better quality at a great price.
Here is a link for a great place to buy a your sump. I had mine made there and they are really very reasonable.
Plus I go back to my made in USA thing.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input.
Hmmmm I thought maybe that might be the case. The sea swirl looks interesting but because it is on my internal overflow it won't work so well. I have one pump but two return lines so the squid thing would be perfect if I didn't loose a ton of flow.
I was at Homedepot the other day and they had a "fine white beach" sand, I was in a hurry and didn't get a good look any chance that one would be OK?
And thanks for posting this in any case Rev.
Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input.
No problem thanks for the input.
I was talking to Will last night and one of my choices for my return is one of those squid thing.
What is everyone's opinion on them good bad or no clue? I will be running a Mag 12 for my return for what it is...
