		<description>To run a sucessful tank you have many factors to think about that will effect what you need to buy.

The basics are filter, light, gravel, gravel cleaner, water conditioner. If it&#39;s to be salt water you will need more but i don&#39;t know personally. 

When choosing what filter you need there are a few simple rules    1. Over filtration is better than underfiltration   2. You will need biological filtration and mechanical most.  For a 110 gal tank i would recomend buying a filter with at least 150 gal capactity or around 400 gal/hour. Canister type filters are better but cost more. If you get a cheaper hang on back filter make sure it has a bio wheel as this will help later on.

Next you need to decide how you want to decorate it. Plants are an essencial for aquariums. Fake are cheap and look it compared to live plants. Live plants will require more light and better substrate (the ground covering material).

For substrate go with simple gravel for plastic plants, go with sand and fertilizer for live plants.


For a gravel cleaner you can buy a simple gravel siphon at any pet store or you can get on that will work through a canister filter (one of their pluses as no need to add water after a cleaning.) 

You will also need various chemicals like start right to condition your water to remove chlorine. 

Once set up you will need to cycle your tank. Fishless cycling is best and to start this you need to add ammonia, then wait about 2 weeks and have your water tested. Buying your own testing supplies is also great to have so you can identify a problem early enough to rectify it. Get liqid not strips.

There is a lot more you will need to know so email me if you have any additional details about what you want to do, or ask another question.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>It does kind of depend on if you have a fresh or salt water set up.  I don&#39;t know terribly much about salt water, but fresh water, 

1.  Substrate
2.  Filtration that cycles the tank capacity, 110 gallons at least 4 times an hour, so filtration that cycles at least 450 gallons per hour.
3.  Heating
4.  Hooded cover
5.  Lighting
6.  Decorations

Many other things come into play after this.  Will again depend on your set up, fresh or salt, and the type of fish you wish to house long term.
