New here

[MANDAMARIE]

Hey new here! Been wanting a saltwater aquarium for a very long time but having babies made it pretty hard so we waited. Just got our new jbj biocube 30 gallon. Started a week ago Tom! We added 2 clowns yesterday! We have a great place near home that is amazing at what they do! Any advice would be very helpful if anyone has any. Right now trying to figure out a good lighting schedule. The man told us at least 9 hours 100,20,20 and 40 blue for 2 hours in evening for viewing. I feel like this isnt enough! Cant wait to be apart of this forum!

Welcome to R2R! Best advice i can give is to take it slow. If the tank was started a week ago and a pair of clowns are already added the tank hasn't had ample time to cycle. Keep a close eye on the little ones for ammonia spikes.

Welcome! You came to the right place. I second the going slow part. I know it’s hard when you first start and want to add every fish you see, but patience and research are key to having a successful tank. Don’t be embarrassed to ask questions, we all were new at one point

Welcome to R2R and follow this advice!! Glad to have you here

Welcome to REEF2REEF!!! My best advice is: trust the experts on here vs those at your local fish store. For lighting, you can post a thread in the lighting forum. Probably will get more eyes there.

I guess I trust my local fish store bc he has been in the business for a long time and did it as a hobby before the business and has only saltwater! Not a random petco but for sure want to learn more from everyone else here.
