20 lbs of live sand is a lot of money so i was wondering if i can get the 5 pound bag for my tank? and does petco sell individual live rocks? also what do i feed polyps? and when can i place them in the tank? also how do i secure the polyps to the live rock? or do they just float around until it finds a nice spot?

same with anenome? i was htinking of getting a clown fish and was wondering what kind of anenome is good for clowns and will it kill the polyps? how do i make sure this doesnt happen? also what do i feed the anenome? how to feed it and when and how much? also how big do anenomes get? it wont take over the whole tank right?? lol and do anenomes get along with scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp?

I’m thinking of buying my first boat. I’ve heard all the money pit comments and that the second best day of owning a boat is the day you sell it, the first being the day you buy it. To me, the days in between, of actually being on the water catching fish, would melt any money issues. What do we work for? I’m in MA, will be fishing the saltwater exclusively so I’ll need at least a 24 ft boat for the chop around here. Thinking of getting a cuddy for some overnight striper fishing. For about k probably looking at a 10 year old Sea Ray inboard. For some reason outboards seem like they’d be easier to maintain so that’s an option also. I surf fish about 40 times a season, so using the boat will not be an issue. Any comments from fishermen who boat fish would be greatly appreciated.
