Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Nice! Welcome to the club. What kind of corals do you hope to keep? How long has this tank been up and running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 First thing I'd say is don't be in too much of a rush. Read lots. The crew here are great at answering questions and taking their time with newcomers. Compared to a lot of the peeps here, I am still a total newbie!

So you will want a few "nano fish" and small corals. I would avoid any kind of "pollys". They may look cute but I my opinion they are a pain.

April Debuysere Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 I’m not sure what “polly’s“ are! I’m not going for anything to wild a couple clowns and a goby. For corals I like the zoas duncan pulsing Xenia mainly the “ softies” and frog spawn or tourches. Kenya tree seems pretty cool. I have lots to learn before I have all that in my tank!! Also will take all advise on corals/ fish to start with I want to have a successful reef tank not kill a bunch of animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dogfish Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good choices. You can read this about zoas. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/zoanthidcompfaqs.htm You have a biocube. If you find something is taking over your tank, removing of zoas, xenia, ect...will not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dogfish Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 oh I forgot the polly thing. I prob should say paly/poly. They are just not my thing, but others love them and have great tanks. Here is some more recommendations. http://www.mrsaltwatertank.com/these-corals-need-warning-labels/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Debuysere Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Thanks I read the info on zoas good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Debuysere Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 i think I am going to do either toad stool leather or hammer coral to start with and clown fish. Do you think getting a pair is worth it or just get two with one being notable larger ( will they likely fight if not already a pair?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
