Hello all! Just joined the forums and am excited to be here.
So I am taking the plunge (pun intended) into Saltwater Aquariums with something simple, but still want to do it right.
For context I have kept several freshwater aquariums in the past, but it's been 10+ years since I had the time and space to keep another. Figure I would go saltwater this time.
For my first time I am going with the Fluval Saltwater Flex 32.5 Gallon. Its a good size, it has a lid for all of the random particulates in my house, and seems to be begginer friendly.
My big questions are what are the best upgrades to buy with this model?
Heater? Skimmer? Additional lighting? Whatever those little side fans are inside the tank that I keep seeing in people's tanks? Lol yeah that's how new I am. Please let me know any and all upgrades I should order with this badboy.
Appreciate any help and if anyone can point me at any good Saltwater Tank 101 threads I would appreciate it.
Been doing a bunch of research, but can never have too much.
Here is a tentative stock list. Let me know your thoughts/changes:
2 Pink skunk Clownfish OR 2 Chromis
1 Firefish Goby
1 Splendid Dottyback OR Orchid Dottyback OR Blackcap Basslet
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Aiptasia Eating Filefish
Also any thoughts on begginer corals would be awesome.
Cheers and thanks!
