Thanks for your replies. I am actually cycling my tank. My goal is to make it a reef tank. I don't know what are the names of the corals because I can get them directly from the ocean. I will keep both soft and hard coral if I get them. I have read that soft coral need less light than hard...

Hi, Thanks for the replies. This fish is cute and I love it, but I did some research on it and what exile said is true, "If one kept as a pet should die, or even if is severely stressed, it will release toxins into the water which could quickly wipe out the entire tank population." Should I...

Hi, For not overcrowding a tank, we need to respect the amount of fish added in the tank, right? But do anemones/corals consider as a fish? For example, 2 fish in a 30 gals tank.... what if I add an anemone in it? Do I have to remove a fish for not overcrowding? Thanks.

Thanks for all your replies. I sincerely appreciate them. I have printed the thread and show to my parents and finally they approved but told me if anything starts rusting I will have to remove it. So, yesterday I started by filling the sand with saltwater mixed and went to the beach to get...
