Hi all, lurker into poster.
I'm looking into setting up my first mixed reef tank and I would like my equipment critiqued. I'd like to keep my entire build (minus livestock) under $900. I plan to buy LFS saltwater until I'm ready to invest in a good RO/DI + salt mix.
I'm still way too new to reefing to decide on my livestock list beyond 2x frostbite clowns. What are some good first reef 29g tankmates for clowns? Good first corals that aren't boring looking?
