chocolate chip starfish help

live rock acts as the mechanical and biological filtration for the system. It provides a source of life aswell..it has micro and macro algae growing on it and it provides the building blocks for us to build our reefs on..

its very confusing and it seems like that equipment will cost A LOT and they will probably end up dieing anyways...
 
no no...we are here for the confusing bit...to keep costs down, look for second hand parts on ebay or in the classified sections here on Aquaria Central and build up the equipment over a few months...Am not going to deny that marine fish keeping does cost more than freshwater, but, it can be done cheaper than going out and buying brand new equipment and things from local fish shops...They do predominantly charge, in my opinion, far more than they should. I started off my first tank with nearly all second hand bits, live rock from looking through classifieds etc and it saved me a lots of money..

I dont want you to get di-heartened by it all...The more people that we can get into sustaining marine life out of the ocean the better. But, i dont want the wool to be pulled over people's eyes thinking that it is not going to cost much to get a setup...

What ever inhabitants you get, should not die as long as they are catered for...

i would suggest 50 or maybe even a 75...they can grow up to about 6 inches...Someone might chime in and correct me if i am wrong there though..

Pair of clowns are not a problem in your suggested 30 Gal
