Since a sump is not intended for public view, can a sturdy plastic container (like a small trashcan or clothes bin) be used? Will the plastic withstand the salinity?
Fish!
ok....I know what's what for the most part now, but I'm still not sure what I should get.....
is there anyways I could get a piece by piece list of what yall think is nessacary to keep a tank (30-55 gallons) running smoothly....NO SUMP! I know there are more advantages, but id rather try the basics to start out with...what would be "luxery" items yall think are nice to have?
Thanks once again LexiMommy, once more you ask a question I had in mind. Also I wanted to ask another question for anyone reading...

my original plan was to spend hundreds of dollars on a great tank setup and then just watch the empty tank your funny
fish only with live rock....I know everyone says about 1 lbs per gallon of water, but I probly won't have that much....maybe half that..... id want it mainly for my fish, not for the filtering......
can you mix substrate? like live sand mixed with crushed coral.... and how should you do it? half on one side half on the other, one on top and one on bottom....mixed all the way through?
