Hey everyone,
I have wanted a saltwater tank for my whole life. However I rescued feeder goldfish (I know they’re basic but I still love them) and while I do love fresh tanks with my whole heart I still want to have a reef.
The issue is I’m still a student living with my parents. They don’t want to get more fish.
I was thinking of asking about a relatively cheap coral setup. But more as a “business idea” What corals should I go for. I know research is the most important thing but I want to know which ones people have been able to keep starting out and have had success with.
Also tell me if this is a bad idea because I don’t want to mess up and kill a bunch of coral. I know research is important and key, but I want opinions as well.
