Hi Everyone!

[willn]

I want to say hello to everyone. I am new to Saltwater reef tanks and would like to ask a couple of questions.

I just set up a 29 gallon Biocube and am in the process of cycling it.

I know I want to start with Juvenile Clowns and a Mandarin Goby.

Any other suggestions?
Anyone selling any clowns?

Thanks for the tips! What would you suggest. Would a flame angel work?

Welcome to our world! I wish you the best of luck with ur new reef. I wished I knew about his site before I took the plunge. There is an endless amount of good info on here. With a new tank take ur time and do not be in a hurry to stock it. Yea I know that's VERY hard!!!!! I want that and a that and that !!!! And so the addiction begins!

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
Here is the cube Cycling.

Will, I have a firefish and a peppermint shrimp in my 29 BC. Of course there is room for a couple more fish but it has not been set up long and I'm letting it break in.

I'd try a pair of firefish.. don't want to max out your bioload right away. A cool blennie as Heath suggested would be fine.
A pair of clowns would be fine as well. I have a pair (small pair) in my 8g but they are soon to outgrow it

Welcome! IMHO, I would said that you have a good size tank for starter, but wouldn't expend on the nicest or priciest fishies, I meant, if you start learning on how to keep them alive and how they behave I would rather expend on the popular ones, learning and having success with the easiest fishies will help you have more chances to keep alive and for longer time the most beautiful ones and the ones that you will fall in love with. Long ago I had purchased a Bicolor angel, beatiful fish, it wasn't for me, I still was learning on how to keep water parameters on top, then lack of research before buying it, and worse for me was not to take a closer eye while the fish was on the store, had some signs of illness, I wasn't prepared, fish got sick and have to talk with the store owner for a return, after this he agrees, but still feel was my bad for not being prepared, a expertise category fish for me: didn't work.
Hope it helps.

It's after midnight and we are talking about fish. Do we have a problem??? Do you see what you are in for!:

You could do a dottyback , although they can get a little territorial , there are many small goby's , watchmen , clown , randals , green banded , neon , shark nose etc.. tailspot blennys are cool , scooter blennys are dragonet's very similar to a mandarin goby but are more common to be tank bread and eat a wider variety of food other than pods , you could do a cardinal fish , a royal gramma.
There are tons of small pretty fish that can live in the bc29 the real trick is picking fish that are compatible , is suggest reading up on any fish you may be interested in on multiple resources .
Are you planning on a fowlr tank or Will you keep coral as well ?
Welcome to salt water (prepare yourself for an education that is never ending , but the hobby is extremely rewarding Best of luck to you , ask a lot of questions , you cannot learn without asking.

Welcome. You are in for a great ride. As has been said above, it is easy to get in a hurry when starting out. So, my best advice would be to start with a pair of clowns and that is it. Clowns are easy to care for and everyone wants them. After that, just sit back for a couple months. During that time you will be learning how to better care for the tank and inhabitants and you will start to learn what fish really float your boat. Then you can research them and ask lots o questions about them.

With thee exception of my Tangs, there is not one fish in my tank that I wanted when I first got in the hobby. As I learned more, my likes and dislikes evolved.


I am going on a cruise.....on my lawnmower around my yard.
