    Cleanup Crew

    I have a 30 gallon tank and would like to figure out my species list. I'm having trouble figuring out my cleanup drew. I will probably be using around a 3" DSB of LS and around 60lbs of LR (let me know if these are bad choices). I'm going to have a pair of clowns, a Royal Gramma and a...

    I want to use the Biological filtration method. How do you go about using a fuge? How do you hook them together? And will I need to grow pods and such that you have mentioned?

    Thank you! :) I do have a couple more questions... How do you make your saltwater? Can you use your regular tap water and add your sea salt mix? I am just trying to get all the things I need down and what they do... like the lighting and the whole dechlorinating and ammonia stuff.

    aRe ThEsE cOmPaTiBlE?

    I'm not sure if I plan on having live rock. I'm still trying to decide if I would also like live sand. Are these both good investments? If so how do they work? Do you need to change them ever?

    aRe ThEsE cOmPaTiBlE?

    Which inverts should I get? I only have a 30 gallon... Also... How much sand or crushed corral or gravel type stuff should I put on the bottom? And are the clown fish going to have a problem being in a fish-only tank, without an anemone?:confused:

    Thank you. Some of the suggestions I recieved included: a pair of clowns, a purple firefish, a royal gamma, and a couple of inverts including: a cleaner shrimp or fire shrimp, serpent star, a couple of crabs and snails. I was confused though because I thought you might need a reef tank to have...

    Will these work for a fish-only tank or do I need to have a reef tank if I wanted to add those inverts?

    I would also like to know how you go about cycling your tank? I would like to introduce my fish accordingly, but am not sure how to go about cycling my saltwater tank; simply because I am not familiar with all this ammonia, nitrite and nitrate jazz... -Thanks :)
