Hey everyone, very green newbie to reefing here. Framed up wall in new house last week to be double sided and hoping to get tank inside next weekend, long way to go yet but getting excited.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 29 64.4%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 11.1%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 4.4%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 7 15.6%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 2.2%

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
