| I really want to start a fish-only sw tank! I've been reading books about SW tanks! and really want to start one this year, or sometime later! Here are my questions: What is a good beginner SW tank size? Can a responsible Teenager have one? Whats a good protien skimmer?

I am a teen too :). I would say an aquapod 24 is an ok tank. you have to get it at dr fosters and smith they have great prices on aquapods. you can also keep coral in an aquapod if you want. It costs about $500 after everything for me to set it up. You will need to mod the tank a little it needs better fans not that hard also you will want to change the screws to a none rusting screw like plastic. If you need any more help PM me.:D

Go with a 55gallon. Its 48inches long. Goood size start. I would feel that getting aquarium system negates the ability to upgrade the hardware in the tank or even tranfer some stuff over to a larger tank. Esp. I you want coral and the lighting its strong enough, but seem fine at the time. Seriously consider piecing together a tank. Its also more enjoyable that way.
Please Ignore- "Why else would I stick my hand into the pirhana tank...it was dirty and needed a SCRUB DOWN!" :P
