SW noob here...
Hi everyone, I'm in kingsville and new to sw aquariums. I've always had freshwater aquariums growing up and I've decided that I'd really like to try the marine side. Currently I'm in a research phase before jumping in head first so any and all advice is very welcome lol. I still don't know what all the abbreviations used in this forum mean but I'm learning more every day. I have a pretty good idea of what I'd like in my aquarium and thought I'd run my thoughts by you guys to see what y'all think. Like I said I'm still learning so don't be too harsh please. The local dealer I've been talking to has a SW set up that includes a 40g tank, hang on filter, heater, T5 lighting system w/ bulbs, and live sand for about $535. Is this a good deal?? Most of the recommendations I've read say that I should start with a 55g but if a 40g is ok it would be better for me. I'm looking at starting with a FOWLR at first with possibly a pair of juvenile clowns and a shrimp/goby pair. I haven't really decided on any other fish at the moment. I do like firefish but I'm not sure if they would be conspecific to the goby and fight. I'd like to incorporate a sump as well but the dealer seems to be trying to talk me out of that idea. I want one mainly for aesthetic purposes, what do y'all think? Eventually I'd love to try adding a rbta for the clowns and maybe some soft coral?
