Hi im considering setting up a saltwater tank

[bd2122]

ive been watching a bunch of different saltwater tanks and what would go with clownfish

ive seen mixed reviews on damesfish and thats what i want

If you are patient and willing to do a little DIY, wait for Petco to do another $1/gallon sale and get yourself a 40b and a 20L. The 40b is a great size for a small reef. The tanks would only cost about $80 and the equipment to get it running won't cost a fortune.

i would do that but the nearest petco is really far away and my closest one wont deliver glass tanks

Clownfish are damsels, but they are the only damsel you should consider. Any other damsel will be too mean.

Probably just a pair of clowns, a shrimp, and maybe a royal gramma. A couple snails and a couple hermit crabs, some soft corals like Kenya trees and mushrooms and ur stocked.

That would be super cool. Start of small, there is a ton of fun That u can have with a little bio cube. Ide be scared to go over 120 gallons for the sheer amount of work it would take to maintain

Chromis have to be fed multiple times a day as they move around a lot and have quick metabolisms, I wouldn’t get them for a tank that small.
