OK I'm looking for 2 things.

#1 Like the title says I would like to start a list of thing that you have gone threw that " If you knew then what you know now" and what would you do different?

#2 We are about to get our first fish for our new 75gal tank that will be going into QT before into the DT. I was wondering if you can tell me, if this was your tank, what would be the first fish you would buy and why?

Please post only once per question per post. Thanks you guys and please post. I would love to hear all your answers.

1. Listen to the advice of others more closely and not think that I 'may know a better, cheaper way' to do it. Or think 'I may be the exception to the rule'.

2. Yellow watchman, because they are very hardy and you will more than likely have zero issues with this fish. Plus they come out to the front most of the day, sitting just outside their holes and will sit there and watch you watch it. :) BTW, there are MANY different types of clowns, it really depends on which type for me. I would advise against a Maroon, but recommend a percula or picasso if you have the $.
 
Honestly.. Be a LOT more patient. But tht seems to be impossible.
 
We were looking at percula but we really like picasso's. We might wait to get the Clown's and get the picasso's.

Thanks for the post but you didn't say what fish you like and way.
 
I'm a freshwater person, but I plan to have a salty tank someday. :headbang2:

My first choice is the yellow watchman, They're both beautiful and have a lot of personality.
 
I like a Queen angel because they are the epitome of beauty..
 
I would have gone with larger than my 37 gallon and done a sump. No money to re-do and I still do like it, just not the limitations. The longer space not only is good for the fish, but makes a more beautiful reef.

For fish, I love the firefish. Mine was extremely shy for about three weeks but now comes out of his cave for a few hours at a time. There is a certain elegance to the fish and I love the way mine follows me from side to side of the tank (looking for the next meal).
 
1. I wish I would have done it right and built a sump for the initial set up, because I can only squeeze a 30g tank under my stand, where I could have dropped a 75 through the top initially. So I guess that falls under what Ace said.
2. Clowns...although I would get a pair. I like my ocellaris clowns...they are very personable and don't vanish as soon as come into the room. I think I could probably hand feed these little guys.

The tank color is kinda confusing to me. I guess that is where the Indian ocean meets the Pacific.
Beautiful colors, though.
