Went down the rabbit hole last night...

[new2theshow]

I was watching YouTube vids about clownfish and reef tanks all night last night and have decided I want to start a reef tank and hope to gain knowledge from the community. I will be starting in the summer so any tips/info resources would be appreciated. I know I want my first fish pair to be a pair of clownfish.

Hello and welcome!

Hello & Welcome! I love my Clowns but you need to be careful what fish you put with them. We like to add the aggressive fish last so they don’t already have claimed the territory

If it’s a for sure.
Get a brute garbage bucket and start your rock cycling. Once per month, change half the water.
In 6 months, you’ll have some great rock with diverse populations of bacteria, and this will make your start both fast, (no cycle waiting) and much much easier.

Rock and sand…..the backbone of a great bio filter.
