New to saltwater

[Whistley21]

Building my first saltwater tank (coming from fresh water) really want a mixed tank heavy on fish and soft corals (with a few LPS)

innovative marine 200 gallon tank
Synergy SK-60 sump 74 gallons with Refugium
Will have Dual Clarissa SK5000 roller filters
tank is currently cycling and will be ready for a few fish in the coming week. Really not clear on how many fish I can stock but this is what I’m looking at to start with (over time, probably starting with clowns) So hard to not get out of hand. Please let me know if I’m way off track

Achilles Tang
Lawnmower Benny
Magnificent Fox face

Welcome to the addiction. I have been at it for 51 years. For that size aquarium, your stocking order is fine.

Consider moving this thread to “members tank” forum.

Congrats! Some quality live rock to get things off to a great start?

Sounds like it's going to be awesome. Keep us updated with a build thread!
