Here are the fish (or inverts/live rock) that i want

1 1/2 lbs. of live rock
A clown fish or two
A long tentacle anemone
A yellow tang
Some coral

can anyone tell me if this is a good idea and can people list other good ideas into the list? Thanks and please respond.

And can anyone tell me if i can get a power compact light at just a regular pet/fish store or do i order it online because i found some pretty strong regular lights in pet stores saying theyre for anemones.

i presume you mean 1.5lbs per gallon there mate?

Clown fish would be fine...long tenticle nem i would suggest no in a 30, may interfere with anything that is near by...tang is a no no in my opinion, very bear minimum i would suggest is 55gal and that is only as a temporary measure..Corals, research them and list some suggestions taking your lighting into concideration...

When you refer to "regular" lights, can you be a little more specific..I.E correct type whether it be T5, Power compacts VHO ( very high output ) ...
