So far this is what I want

[JustReefIt14]

So far I have read a few books and they suggested starting out with a fish only tank. Well thats good and all but this is what I want to do. Ok here it goes, I want to start my tank off with live rock and live sand (for the cycling of the tank) afterwards I'll get a pair of juvinile clownfish and later after that get a hardy coral (mushroom coral, blue) and I'll go from there. So how does this sound to anyone. O almost forgot for lighting I really want metal halides and I want an anemonme to go with em'. I have a list of creatures that I want to put into my tank but this will just be the begining. Thanx ahead of time for any help!!!!!!!! 8) :lol: :wink:

Sounds good!
What size tank and what equipment are you going to be using?

Brandon, sounds like a plan to me. Slow and steady wins the race. I don't think corals are hardy to keep then fish. It's just a different set of concerns you have to be prepared to deal with.
