Hi all. I'm new to saltwater but have been doing freshwater for about 20 years.Finally decided to take the plunge into the salt.Anyway heres what I was thinking.Standard 15g(24"L) tank,aquaclear 50 HOB( rated at 200g/ph), Rio "Nano Skimmer" (not sure on g/ph),Jeager 75w heater, either a Coralife "Aqualight" 130w (2x65w) PC or a Odyssea 130w(2x65w) PC.Will prob do about 20lbs LR to start and 1" aragonite sand for looks.I would like to keep 2 to 4 small fish and some mush, leathers, zoos, or xenia. Do you all think this setup will work?any sugestions or critisisms would be very helpful to this "newbe". Thanks in advance.

this set up should work, but i would not get 4 fish in a 15 gallon tank. i would recommend 2-3 smaller fish. but u can get a bunch of inverts too.

I would go with a little bit more sand than 1"....and yea 4 fish isn't gonna work to well, especially if you are new to salt, your levels might go kinda crazy....
