hey guys. i've been in FW for a while and thought i'd give SW a try. i recently got a 36g corner, 34x24x22. i've been reading that it may be hard to light it to keep corals and such so i thought i might try a FOWLR tank. im not very familiar with SW fish, so what would you guys recommend for this tank? i was thinking about 3-4 tank permitting. my fiance of course likes clowns so maybe something with them...
New to SW, a few questions

Very true. There's enough people on here that can help with just about any situation you run into. If you are going to have clownfish, then you'd probably wind up getting an anenome eventually anyway...and that's where the reef keeping starts.:up:

You can start with fish only, but you'll get a piece of live rock, and some mushroom will appear in a month or two and you'll be itching to upgrade.
I would say welcome to the club, but I think the more appropriate phrase is, "Welcome to the support group for reef-a-holics."

Fish-Only doesn't last very long 'round these parts!!!
lol i've heard a FO tank wont last long. im kind of leaving this tank up to my fiance to what she wants. i have 125g, 55g, 75g, and 20g freshwater tanks 
im already addicted, just stepping into something a little more serious lol

Just be cautious of buying fish spontaniously at the LFS. There's a lot of different issues with SW fish than FW. Compatibility is the biggest.
<span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Lighting that tank (for reef purposes) shouldn't be that difficult... T5's would probably work fine... And I agree 100% with everyone else here that if you start with a FOWLR it will only be a matter of time before you convert... so why prolong the inevitable, do it right the first time and do it now...
