What's up guys! Just started my very first saltwater tank! I've been reading the forums for a couple months now and finally decided to jump on myself! I have a 10 gallon nano for now (college student in a small apartment) I got the hopes and dreams of a 50gal over the summer! Any tips would be appreciated guys! So far I have 16lbs of live reef (bedding?) 7lbs of live rock, and two oscellares clowns!! Oh also a big snail, of the kind I'm not sure lol. They're looking pretty good to me, but let me know any tips!

Welcome and great starter tank! A little more movement might be a good and in-expensive add on. The smallest version Koralia power head might do the trick. Took me a while to learn how important a good flowing tank is.

I'll be sure to check it out! My friend had a powerhead In his 20 blowing his fish like a tornado, I'm sure it was just to big
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
