Morning everyone. My name is Jason and I think this is a great website for all fish enthusiasts. Well done.
I have been looking at this forum from the outside for a few months and decided to get in the fishy action. I don't have a tank set up yet but I'm purchasing the parts one-by-one. I have a 33 gal tank and have decided to go with a canopy lighting system. I'm putting the fish tank into my wall and this works best for me. I know I still need to pick up a proper filter, sand, plants and a heater.
From what I've seen on here, maintaining a salt water fish tank is very difficult versus the freshwater one. For those of you that have experienced both, is this true?
I want to have saltwater fish. I'm leaning towards clown fish which leads into these questions:
a) How many can I have in a 33 gal tank?
b) What other fish thrive well with clown fish?
c) Same sex of different?
d) Coral - what should I get for the tank?
e) Do I need anemone for them?
f) How long do I need to prep the tank before I can put the fish in them and
g) Replenishing the tank as water evaporates?
Thanks guys. I know these are likely a lot of newbie questions that may eek a few vets here. I'm just really excited about this and want to do the right thing the first time around.
Thanks,
Jason
