Hi all, I’m just getting back into reefing (last did it in the late 90’s!). I’ve set up a Red Sea 525 G2 and am currently cycling the tank. Can’t wait to get my first fish in soon!

Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

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

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

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

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

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