Hi, I am brand new to these forums so please be gentle!!.

I have had tropical fish in the past but am looking to now keep marine fish.

I had brought a biorb 60L and converson kit for my hubbys birthday. Now I know from reading these forums that no "fish expert" likes them but I have brought one now. It is all brand new and not setup (we are going to do this next week) so any advice given will be appreciated. I want to start small to see whether we are going to take to keeping marine fish, but I was wondering if you could guide me in a good selection of beginners marine fish. Ideally what I am after is a small colourful selection . Also if any one could guide me on the kinda numbers of fish that would be suitable for a 60L it would be helpful. Thank you :)
 
Thanks for the advice.

I had thought that gobies may be suitable but was hoping to be able to have about
3 - 5 fish, :irked: still never mind.

Can i add clean up crew to this size tank or not?

Thanks very much



 
after u set up the tank u need to let it cycle if u dont u will kill aney thing u put in it to start cycle u need live rock live sand and it takes a bout a month and 2 weeks to happen
