Hi guys and gals,

I'm a newbie to marine and before I start I could do with some advice as marine specialists in my area are few and far between.

I have enough space for a 90 litre tank but am unsure what to do in regards to filtration as I've read various articles and some recommend protein skimmers and other point in alternative methods.

Everyone on the forum seems to be extremely knowledgable and any advice would go a long way.

- I have feeling this could be the first post of many!

Thanks
Squid

Hi and welcome. I guess before any of us can comment we would need an idea of what type of tank you wish to keep. fish only or reef and softies lps sps. If you go in blind '' like so many of us have'' you could end up buying equipment you cant use or dont need,
