I've been looking at all the great postings. There is a lot of great info, but it doesn't quite answer my question. I'm setting a $500 budget. Downtown Pets (LFS) in La Crosse, WI is giving me a great deal on a 75 gal tank, stand and canopy for $200. That leaves $300 for the rest of the set-up. I would like a DSB, sump and refugium. Eventually, I would like to add live rock, anemones, live coral, crabs and/or lobster, maybe a star or two and some small fish (clowns perhaps). I know that it will takes years to get the tank where I want it, but from the pics I've seen here, it is well worth it. I don't plan on buying anything for a few months research time, but I would like some help choosing equipment and supplies that will last years not months and won't blow my budget. I just finished getting my 55 gal FW up and cycled, now it's SW time (a lot cooler livestock).
