Hey, I'm somewhat new to the Saltwater aquarium (Had a 55 gallon fish-only for about 7-8 months now) and am wondering exactely what kind of stuff i would need for a small reef tank.
Specifically, i KNOW i am putting a clownfish pair and a flame hawkfish in this tank as they are in my 55 gallon now with a lionfish that might be thinking they are food too soon for my comfort. I would like to keep some anenomies in this tank (for the Clownfish to hopefully take a liking too), and some inverts (Gonna try a large shrimp to see if Hawk will go after it, if so probably a Purple lobster). If its possible, and not TOO expensive (I know lighting is quite expensive), i would like to have a few peices of coral in it too.
The question i have is what would i need, being as specific as possible, to keep a tank like this healthy and happy? Also, if you have any other advice i would love to hear it as i am by far not a pro yet.
